Don't Be Left Behind!
As the owner of your own interior design practice, small or large, you know that the times are changing. But did you also know that the principles of how to earn what you deserve never change? They are as immutable as the laws of physics. Apply those principles to the newest innovations in your field and you simply cannot help but join the top 5% of earners in your field. IDEAS 2019 will be held online over the course of two days and include presentations by David Shepherd as well as select members of The Edge whose “best practices” have been singled out for excellence.
100s of Actionable Ideas
In every area that matters most to you, from pricing to managing, to software and systems, we make sure that ideas presented during the IDEAS conference are in a “swipe and deploy” format so that you can pick the best ones for you and put them to work on Monday morning!

Your Host, David Shepherd
With stints on the faculty at two of the nation’s top-ranked business schools, and fifteen years of working exclusively with interior designers, David Shepherd brings a depth and rigor to your business that you can count on. Yet having won awards for teaching, he also knows how to convey the most complex subjects in ways that are easy to understand and often even fun! Perhaps that’s why so many interior designers have attended 10, 15, and even 20 of the more than forty live events David has produced and delivered.
Who is This Event For?
It’s almost easier to say who IDEAS 2019 is NOT for. This is a business conference. If your goal is to watch a lot of pretty people show off a lot of pretty pictures…this event is NOT for you. If you own your own firm, whether sole practitioner or with 30 employees, this event IS for you. You’ll learn the absolute state-of-the-art in every critical area that are all intended to help you earn what you deserve…without the wait!

This Event is Based on These Principles!
Confidence
No more putting your head in the sand and agonizing over “the numbers.” You’ll gain the confidence of competence by everything you learn at IDEAS 2019.
Accountability
We’ll show you how to map out a 12-month plan for 2020, and even offer you the chance to join one of our “Accountability Group” to keep you on track each and every month.
About YOU!
Want to hear people talk about themselves and show pretty pictures? Then this event is not for you…because we focus on YOU and helping you earn what you deserve.
Bottom Line
Every session and every word spoken at IDEAS 2019 is carefully planned to increase your earnings and net worth. You work to hard to just “get by.” You deserve more!
Must Read Books
Every year just a handful of books make David’s list that designers absolutely MUST read. There were some great ones in 2019 and David will review them and note their most critical lessons.
Affordability
IDEAS 2019 would normally charge close to $3,000, but for 2019 it is being offered FREE to all members of The Edge. And, as a member, recordings of this event will be in your Archives for years to come.
Simplicity
There’s nothing more convenient that taking two days off from work to sit down and learn how to earn what you deserve. We do recommend that you get OUT of the office and treat this event as if you had traveled 1,000s of miles.
Goal Setting
The largest and most successful companies set goals the same way you should…they dream big and work small. You’ll learn how to blend three of the most successful goal setting methods that will help you to achieve anything you desire..
And Dozens of Contributions from Edge Members Still Coming In!
Creating Your 2020 Plan for Success!
You’ll leave with an ActionPlan for each and every month in 2020,
and an opportunity to join an “Accountability Group” to help
you stay on track.
