Sneak Peek: NeoCon Show Daily Preview

Are you ready for NeoCon 2026? This year, The Mart is opening its doors earlier than usual—Sunday, June 7—for a special peek at its carefully designed showrooms. Check out our NeoCon Show Daily Preview edition to create a game plan for the show, which promises to be the best yet. Think: on-site collectible design exhibitions by emerging designers and a new show-within-a-show dedicated to lighting design, for starters.

Plus, be sure to set aside time for this year’s must-attend NeoCon talks, from visionary keynotes by Nick Foster, David Shing, and Jessica O. Matthews to hands-on workshops exploring AI, storytelling, sketching, and craft. Cheers to an action-packed show!
