DNN is proud to spotlight a curated lineup of educational and networking events at this fall’s High Point Market, offering interior designers unparalleled opportunities to sharpen their craft, connect with industry leaders, and celebrate creative innovation. From business insights and visual storytelling to the latest in AI tools and client communication, these DNN-endorsed sessions are designed to elevate both emerging and established professionals.
Curated by Thomas Heatherwick, the Seoul Biennale centers on the “Humanise Wall”—a 90-meter-long, four-story installation of 1,428 steel tiles inscribed with insights from citizens, scientists, and designers. Featuring 400 projects from 38 countries by 110 architects, the Wall acts as a manifesto for joyful, human-centered buildings. Alongside, 24 ‘Walls of Public Life’—fragments of building facades created by global designers ranging from architects to chefs and fashion designers—demonstrate how building exteriors can shape urban life.

More than 2,000 exhibitors are set to take part in Light + Building 2026, an international trade fair for lighting and building-services technology, scheduled for March 8–13 in Frankfurt.
The fair, which takes place every two years, will feature companies ranging from major global suppliers to smaller startups. Organizers expect about 70 percent of exhibitors to come from outside Germany, underscoring the event’s international reach.
This year’s theme, “Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces,” emphasizes energy efficiency, smart building systems and the creative use of light. Exhibits and programming will focus on three areas: sustainable transformation, smart connectivity and the design and emotional impact of light.
Guests will begin their journey at Barnsdall Art Park, enjoying coffee and access to tour the Hollyhock House before setting off on a self-paced, three-hour tour of three private Eastside residences. Attendance is limited, with timed-entry slots available throughout the day to ensure an intimate, engaging experience.
