We gained immense inspiration from the speakers and panelists, including Hearst editors, brand founders, and other designers at Cosentino's C.Next Design Conference. The speakers emphasized the importance of courage in design, highlighted sustainability efforts from leading brands, offered tips on effective pitching, and stressed the value of industry events and engagement.

In this episode, we share the highlights of what we learned and how we were inspired by the speakers and designers we met at this amazing event!
