How to Stay in the Know at NeoCon with ThinkLab Trendspotters
We like to think that NeoCon 2022 signals that soon things will be not only “back to normal” but “back to better.” Early indicators suggest that show traffic is inching back toward pre-pandemic numbers, but that’s not to say that lessons learned from the past two years no longer apply.
If you’re curious to hear what’s changed, explore what the A&D community and their clients are looking for, and get a fly-on-the-wall view, ThinkLab has you covered—with content from a powerful lineup of Trendspotters this year.
Meet them here:

We’ve invited some of the industry’s finest architecture and design professionals to share what they are seeing, hearing, thinking, and loving about the show—unfiltered.
For those on-site, our Trendspotters will help you digest what you’ve seen and identify must-sees at the show. And, for those not on-site, we’ll bring you the “hallway conversations” to help you discover the products, brands, experiences, and insights you don’t want to miss.
Here’s how you tune in:
- For minute-by-minute updates: Follow #thinklabtrendspotters on Instagram and LinkedIn.
- For daily audio recaps:
- Download the Clubhouse app (instructions for Apple here and Android here).
- Follow our club Design + Data w/ThinkLab.
- For our finale: Join us Friday, June 17, at 8 a.m. CST for our Top 10 recap.
We look forward to connecting with you virtually and in person at NeoCon 2022!
Anna Lu is the project manager at ThinkLab, where we combine SANDOW Media’s incredible reach to the architecture and design community through brands like Interior Design Media, Metropolis, Luxe, and Material Bank with proven market research techniques to uncover relevant trends and opportunities for the design industry.
