IDC will be at the Lutron Electronics showroom in Toronto on February 4, 2026, for three practically oriented panels and Q&A sessions with leading design professionals.
These panels are part of IDC’s Industry Sales Professionals Course (ISPC), a custom course tailored to meet the needs of architecture and design industry sales professionals that provides an opportunity to learn, network, and connect.
The first group of panelists has been announced. They include Eric Yorath, principal, Figure3, Marianna Ng, senior interior designer, associate, B+H Architects, and Genevieve Lavoie, senior project interior designer, HOK.
More panelists will be announced soon.
The event will kick off with a welcome breakfast at 9:00 a.m. The first and second panel will follow before a networking lunch at noon. The third panel of the day will take place at 1:00 p.m.
Benefits of participating include creating an expanded network of registered interior designers and architects, drawn from boutique and large design firms, having two-way conversations with registered designers, architects, and other sales professionals, gaining tips on how their studios operate, as well as how to join their network of industry resources, and a certificate of completion.
“It was my honour to participate as a panelist, and I’m so happy to hear the conversation resonated so positively with the attendees. The event was incredibly well-organized, and it was truly a pleasure to participate, share my perspective, and contribute to such a meaningful conversation,” said Theresa Pereira, principal, Create Design & Co.
“I really enjoyed the event — it was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for. The combination of networking opportunities with both design professionals and other reps made it truly valuable,” said Kristen Polsinelli, architectural (A&D) sales manager, M2 Tile & Stone.
Registration is free for interior designers, however, spots are limited.
