luxury bathroom amenities seen in hotels into residential designs,

Winning Outdoor Kitchen Design
Ryan Bloom, Urban Bonfire
TRACK: K&B TRENDS
We are witnessing one of the greatest shifts in consumer behavior as
it relates to our homes and the way we spend time in them. Outdoor
spaces, which were once an afterthought, have now become an
essential component of our homes. It is where we unwind after a
long day, entertain, cook and connect with family and friends. Where
there was once a disconnect between indoors and outdoors, design
professionals now find themselves in a unique position to bridge this
gap and create the solutions and experiences their clients are seeking
in their outdoor spaces. Urban Bonfire's Co-Founder and President,
Ryan Bloom, will elaborate on how the design community can leverage
this emerging industry to make their mark on outdoor spaces and
grow their business in return. He will cover the key principles of
outdoor kitchen design, including technical, functional and regional
considerations, with a focus on creating livable and usable spaces. It
will help design professionals expand their expertise and serve clients
in one of the biggest trends in outdoor living.

1.5 HOUR WORKSHOP: The X-Factor: 7 Leadership Strategies
for a High-Performance Team
Fred Reikowsky, Legacy Business Leaders, LLC
TRACK: BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Every successful Kitchen & Bath Company has discovered their
X-Factor - that is, how to mobilize a depth of loyal, devoted, problem
solvers around them. This is the life work (and the hardest work) of
every leader committed to long-term profitability and market impact.
The X-Factor, in a word, is culture. But achieving such a state of
collaborative harmony with a high-performance team can seem like
more myth than reality when faced with the daily struggles of running
a Kitchen & Bath Company. Yet, with all its nuances and challenges,
The X-Factor is THE deciding factor when it comes to standout
performance and longevity, demonstrated by the select few in our
industry who have captured it. Every long-term success can trace its
roots back to a culture of productive, committed people delivering

distinct value to end users. How do they do it? This workshop will
unpack the inner workings of such a cultural upheaval and deliver
a practical, understandable framework, that can be implemented
immediately, for every leader committed to successful, long-term
growth. No matter how creative and talented a leader is, without a
high-performance team, an organization's ability to grow successfully
soon becomes too burdensome and frustrating. It stands to reason,
then, that the lasting success of any organization can never be the
sole responsibility of the people at the top. But that is exactly where
our industry tends to fall short. How can a leader reproduce success?
Growing successfully depends on a leader's ability to impact the
people around them - the X-Factor.

the US and beyond, we have seen an abundance of growth in
requests for STR design and setup. As interior designers, we have
the advantage of digging deeper into the creativity and function
of the overall design within any space. This gives the opportunity
for a more unique and functional STR to be created for clients that
can assist in maximizing their ROI. In this presentation, we will
cover STR design trends, tips on selecting the proper finishes and

insights on how designers can demonstrate an understanding of this
