It's a wrap on the first edition of Shelter by Afternooon Light - and wow, did we LOVE every minute of it!
Many thanks to our community of outstanding partner brands and studios, a host of wonderful speakers, our sponsors, the most incredible production team, labor teams, publicists, delicious sandwich makers, volunteers, and everyone who did a little or a lot to make it happen. To the design lovers and professionals, our guests who filled the floor for three days with an overflow of positive energy, new ideas, and an eye on business, and the future - thank you for joining us.
We'll see you next year.
