Commercial Interior Projects Throughout America
Here’s a small sample of the 100s of commercial interior projects our designers are bringing to the table this September. The projects should speak for themselves.
BOND has been one of the best kept secrets in Specification Sales for far too long! As a long time attendee and believer, it excites me to see the word really get out there and BOND claim it’s reign as the greatest ROI conference for Materials Manufacturers on the planet.

How it works
This is NOT a trade show
You know exactly who’s going to be here and you will have a number of guaranteed, pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings with the ‘buyers’ of your choice. And this is just the start.
You are all together for 3 days and 3 nights at a luxury resort, so there’s time and space to meet everybody and it’s this abundance of natural networking that opens up a whole world of possibilities. Because there’s a real community feel here and everyone’s more relaxed and open and any number of conversations can light up the commercial interior project trail right in front of you – you’ll see!
> 18 pre-arranged 1:1 meetings
+ 72 hours of networking in a luxury resort
= a proven formula for success.
We will deliver North America’s true commercial interior project influencers with time and space to get to know each other properly. The rest, frankly, is up to you!
Save your place
BOND Events are a valuable resource for our projects nation-wide! I always find innovative products and meet talented professionals.

Seminar - "Living Structures: Integrating New Media Art into Architectural Design"
Caleb Hawkins | Design Director, MASARY Studios
Synopsis
The seminar, titled “Living Structures: Integrating Digital Art into Architectural Design,” explores how to seamlessly fusion digital art and architecture. It emphasizes the importance of the collaboration of artists with the architectural design team early in the design process, particularly during the preliminary and schematic stages, to ensuring that multimedia art becomes an integral part of the building’s fabric. This early collaboration between artists, architects, and other stakeholders enables a cohesive vision, optimizing the integration of art, technology and building systems to create architectural spaces.
Key site considerations for permanent multimedia artworks, such as visibility, traffic flow, and public engagement, are examined to highlight how these factors influence the success and impact of the installations. The seminar also delves into the technical components essential for new media art projects, including display technologies, sensors, cameras, hardware, and internet connectivity. These elements are critical in creating dynamic, interactive spaces that respond to their environment and engage viewers in innovative ways.
The collaborative roles of various parties—artists, fabricators, installers, and lighting designers—are discussed in depth, emphasizing the need for coordination throughout the design, construction, and installation phases. Understanding these roles ensures that all aspects of the project are aligned, from concept to completion.
The seminar analyzes the critical interface between art and architectural design team, focusing on site preparation, building systems and infrastructure requirements to install, support and maintain the digital art installation will be explored. These elements are essential for the successful implementation of new media art within architectural settings over the life of the installation.

Seminar - Inside Out Decisions
Tim Harris | Executive Coach and Speaker, Tim Harris Consulting
Synopsis
Fatigue dominates the lives of those without direction or dreams. But without goals dreams are simply dreams. Without processes though, goals are simply goals. If you enjoy the process then you enjoy both the journey and the goal. How does one set lofty motivational goals without causing overwhelm? Is stumbling is essential to becoming a great leader? Do you have the guts to fail? Do you have the resilience? What if you don’t? Does adversity reveal character or build it? How do you behave in the face of seemingly insurmountable pressure?
All the above went through my mind. Let me tell you about the decisions made, the mistakes, the uncertainty, the lessons and the outcomes.
