From the Community

An exciting feature of NeoConnect will be an engaging NeoCon community portal that will showcase several components for NeoConnect users to discover, including a guest blog series with exclusive content from the design industry’s movers and shakers. NeoConnect will also be home to content from DesignStandsTogether (DST), a grass-roots initiative created by public relations and marketing firm Novità Communications designed to unify and bolster spirits in this global pivotal moment. The DST feed on NeoConnect will highlight unique and creative BeWell videos from the design world and beyond and will cover everything from paper weaving and collage, to ergonomics and sleep tips. Designing a Better Chicago, a collaborative initiative organized and supported by NeoCon and theMART, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), and the Design Museum of Chicago, will also be highlighted on NeoConnect.
