The definition of home is changing as humans are blurring their time between work, home, and play.
Blurred Spaces – A Vision of Future Living
The concept of “Resimercial” is now the new norm for bridging the gap between public and private life.
In an age of telecommuting and co-working, there are new ways of entertaining and enjoying community. Interior spaces need to be tooled up to deliver more function and more amenities for multiple purposes.
Starting with an international view on macro trends, this session will drill down to what will happen in the new public ‘home’ spaces of office, hospitality, as well as personal environments. As society changes, new ideas and solutions are becoming evident and these will change our future living environments. Nature, humanity, and technology are blurring the landscape with new possibilities. Technology innovations will change how we work in the future.

2021+ Asia Pacific Forecast
We recently revealed the 2020+ Asia Pacific Forecast during our 2018 International Summit – now we begin to forecast color directions for 2021 and beyond and YOU can be part of that conversation. Our Conference Workshops offer a chance to explore and recognize subtle nuances in color, to envision which palettes and color combinations will best attract, inspire, and inform, and to explore the global influences and drivers that affect color directions.
At the very heart of all CMG Conferences is the Color Forecasting process where the world’s leading color and design influencers share, discuss and explore color directions. You will be on the cutting edge of color forecasting, and you’ll bring these insights back with you to shape and validate discussions and decisions on color directions for your industry, product, or service. CMG’s Color Forecasting process is a collaboration of minds; a joint effort to understand and interpret what is happening in the world around us and how this will influence color. The final result? A 16-color Directional Forecast that is distributed electronically with a report identifying the trends and influences affecting color directions. The Color Forecast shows notations in all the major color systems including Pantone, NCS, RAL, RGB and LAB.
Who Should Attend?
Global manufacturers, brands, and marketers understand the importance of color marketing to their bottom line.
