BUSINESS + DESIGN CONFERENCE
FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Join us for a powerful three-day experience where interior design, business strategy, curated connection, and creative excellence collide.
October 2–4, 2025 | The Thompson Hotel, Buckhead
A New Standard for Interior Design Business Education and Creative Access
The Case Conference is the leading interior design business event for designers who want to scale creatively and strategically. Curated by award-winning interior designer and Emmy-nominated creative design producer Jameelah Watkins-Mallett, this three-day conference blends advanced business education, powerful industry insight, and real-world application.
It’s more than a conference, it’s a movement. We’re reshaping how interior designers learn, lead, and build successful, sustainable design firms in an industry that has often left us out of the blueprint.
THIS YEAR’S VENUE PARTNERSHIP
A Design-Focused Venue: The Thompson Hotel Buckhead
The Case Conference 2025 will take place at the Thompson Hotel Buckhead—an award-winning boutique hotel in Atlanta known for its modern luxury, architectural style, and elevated design experience. Located in one of Atlanta’s most inspiring creative neighborhoods, the hotel offers the perfect setting for our Welcome Party, Fireside Chat, and full-day interior design business programming.
This design-forward space isn’t just our venue—it’s a visual reflection of the principles we teach: intentionality, innovation, and unforgettable hospitality.
