“As we head into our fourth year, we’re thrilled to offer a more refined event shaped by targeted programs and strategic partnerships. These relationships with local and international design organizations and media outlets further position WantedDesign as an essential destination during NYCxDESIGN. We are proud and excited to collaborate with NYC’s finest design institutions to create a rich program for all professionals and design lovers. Exhibit goers can expect to see fresh perspectives from new collaborations and inspiring designers that promise to keep WantedDesign authentic and thought provoking. In addition to supporting American work on home turf, we’ll also be partnering with international organizations to broadcast our national participants well beyond the U.S. throughout the entire year.”
