Chicago— Daltile’s Chicago Design Studio, located here, welcomed architects, designers and other customers to its annual “Parked At NeoCon” lunch event on Oct. 5 during the annual NeoCon commercial design tradeshow. According to the company, the luncheon is held every year during the NeoCon event. This year, it showcased the brand’s exciting new products and gave NeoCon attendees a break from the miles-long tradeshow held just across the street in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart.
The annual event
“We had a wonderful time today,” said Daniel Behnke, sales manager for Daltile’s Chicago Design Studio. “There is no other event like ours during NeoCon each year. Located directly across from the Chicago Merchandise Mart, our studio is an ideal escape from the grind of the tradeshow floor. Daltile’s annual lunch event is a unique opportunity for innovative designers, architects and other loyal customers to come together and explore emerging trends in flooring and surfaces in the relaxing, social atmosphere of our studio.”
Hilary Frank, regional vice president of sales for Daltile, added, “Like all of the showrooms in our nationwide network, Daltile’s Chicago Design Studio showcases samples of our entire line, including our newly-launched products. It was really exciting to see the very positive reaction that the commercial design community had to our new products today.”
