Doug Benway, Director of Sales

"I’ve spent my career shaping how people experience their spaces - from ergonomics to contract office furniture and now lighting, where I specialize in offering lighting products that help create environments that feel good and work beautifully."

 

Favourite quote: "Success is built the same way lighting is made - with energy, direction, and the courage to illuminate what others overlook."

 

 

 

 

The Problem

 

 

 

 

 

Being visible to senior architects and designers is vital, because their specifications ultimately decide what gets built into a project. However, reaching these senior architects and designers can be very challenging, especially with the travel, logistics, and time required for in‑person meetings.

The Solution:

"By gathering senior interior architects and designers in one location each year, BOND Events and Arc Interiors  has made high‑value engagement dramatically more efficient."

Doug's comments on:

ROI:

"Koncept’s global reach and extensive A&D engagement make ROI difficult to isolate for any single event, but I’m confident that the value of participating in Arc Interiors far outweighs the cost."

Audience quality:

"Every year, the quality of access to attending architects and designers is exceptional, and their receptiveness makes every interaction meaningful and productive."

Connections made at BOND:

"The connections made through BOND have been both extensive and meaningful. Beyond potential clients, we have developed relationships with industry professionals who continue to provide opportunities, introductions, and market intelligence long after the event concludes."

Anything that surprised you?

"I’m consistently impressed by how seamless the entire BOND Events experience is, especially considering how many moving parts are involved."

Insight for regional and product development:

"Each year, we choose to debut our new products in New York City because of its strong A&D presence. Attendees at ARC Interiors are often among the first to receive an early introduction to what’s coming next."

Compared to trade shows:

"BOND events are far more personal than most trade shows, and I’m guaranteed meaningful interaction with a select group of A&D attendees."

Any advice to other manufacturers considering BOND?

"I recommend thoroughly researching your selections and having a well‑defined follow‑up plan prepared ahead of time.'

Anything else you want to add?

"BOND has become an integral part of our business development strategy. The events consistently provide access to high-quality professionals, valuable industry insights, and opportunities that would be difficult to replicate through other channels. We look forward to continuing our partnership with BOND and participating in future events."
