I am thrilled to be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Desiging Profits Seminar in New York City this September. I have been attending the amazing seminars by David Shepherd for more than 6 years and I can honestly say that they have changed my life.
It was at my favorite of David’s events to date, a fantastic conference on Building your Celebrity Brand in 2007, where I first learned about blogging from my now friend Mark Cutler. Prior to that dynamic event in Atlanta, Georgia, I had never even heard of a blog. A few short months later in 2008 I started one of my own and the rest is history.
So if you are a designer and you want to leapfrog your competition and build your brand using social media tools like blogging, facebook and twitter, Don’t miss my talk. If you want to learn all you can about mastering the “Business of Design”, then don’t miss this conference!
David has put together one of the best conferences to date and he has moved it from it’s typical location in Las Vegas to the design capital of the country, New York City!! Two action packed days with speakers, panel discussions and breakout sessions and you will come away inspired and ready to take your business to the next level.
Industry experts like the amazing group at The Editor at Large will help you get your work published. Guru on marketing to the affluent, Steve Nobel, will tell you how to thrive in the luxury market in this economy, and the brilliant social media experts at Design Sherpa will help you get your social media presence off the ground or taken to the next level.
My story is evidence that using social media and other business tools in the right way can put your design firm on the Map and David Shepherd is the man to connect you with these tools and techniques.

Tobi,
I’ve really been thinking about attending David’s conference. Trying to work out my crazy schedule to able to do it. Many big installs right around that time…all good things collide at once it seems. But trying to work it out. Congrats on your success. Amazing for you I know.

Hi Tobi,
I attended one of David’s seminars in Dallas last month and have already registered and booked flights for the NYC event! I’m excited to learn from David, but the fact that you were presenting sealed the deal for me! I so look forward to meeting you and learning to “leapfrog”!

Hi Tobi,
This looks like an amazing and worth wile event! I’ve been growing my social media side over the past year, though slowly and organically. I think these tips could help take it to the next level.
I’ve long admired your style and really enjoyed your talk on “The Skirted Round Table”. I am adding your site to my “blog roll” so my followers can enjoy your posts as well.
All the best,
Kari
So glad i am going to be there to see you in action!!!
He Tobi,
Looking forward to your talk in NY. Can’t wait to hear your organized recap of the way you mastered the social web for your business. Thanks for the DesignSherpa mention and I will also be in NY trying to share some of the learning we have had working with almost 200 design professionals developing their social footprint.
By the way, have you checked out the pre-announcement release of the “What Inspires You” design/social media contest to win $10K and a trip to Paris and Maison & Objet?
Cheers,
Adam
Hi Tobi-
I am very excited to hear you present at the event! This will be my first BOD conference.
Also just got to your blog through David’s e-mail today. I’ll be sure to subscribe!
Thanks!

just wanted to say, you look FABULOUS~ love the new hairstyle!
I am going to try to make your talk in September if I can swing it (I’ll be close to my due date). Twitter is something that completely baffles me, despite having an account….I have yet to “tweet.”
I wish I could go to this, it sounds amazing, too bad it is only for interior designers. I’m sure your part will be great!!!
