Bosch & Blanco Design Retreat

This week I’m headed to California to sit in on discussions on Modern Design with Bosch, BLANCO and an esteemed panel from DWELL magazine.

I’m also super excited to get a sneak peek at the new 2013 offerings and talk directly with the product designers about their process in creating today’s leading European designs. I’m sure I’ll have to sign away my first-born and I won’t be able to report what I see but I will be able to what I discover in the new “experience and design center” in Irvine, CA.

At events like these, I always look forward to meeting the other Design Bloggers who will be attending. For this event I’ll have a chance to get to know some online friends as we dine at True Food Kitchen on Thursday. A few of my Blogger 19 colleges will also be attending so I anxiously look forward to our reunion.

If you have any specific questions or information you’d like me to gather, just leave me a comment.
