This is such a fun episode with Lance Amato from Canoa! If you're already using Canoa, you'll love hearing about the exciting new directions the company is headed. And if you're not familiar with it yet, we think you'll be inspired by the discussion. One of our favorite parts is when he talks about how A&D and dealer designers collaborate - including the perceptions on both sides about those last minute RFPs.

From the big stage at #CETExperience, Alexandra Tseffos talked about a new search from The Design POP that allows a designer to search within the words of the trainer - not just by keyword. WE HAVE BOTH! For an explanation of how this works, check out the video below: https://lnkd.in/dF3s3DXC This search can be really helpful when you just need a tip (and don't want to click 2x first), or are looking for manufacturer specific content like Stylex Luna shown in the video. However, you can also search for anything related to AIS, JSI, OFS or design training like what we offer on Configura's CET and Spec, or Cyncly's Worksheet and more. Let us know what you think!

Did you miss #CETExperience this year or were you here and you want to share Configura's announcements with a friend? This episode of The Design POP Podcast (an Imagine a Place Production) explores exactly that! Thanks to Configurans, Aaron Okkema and Erin Corrill, for telling us about what's new and what's coming for CET and Spec.

AI has changed how we work, yet many people are not recognizing it as artificial intelligence. Many questions from designers have come up lately around how to use AI to ease their project load - because they are being challenged to use it and want examples of what others are doing too! In this episode of The Design POP Podcast (an Imagine a Place Production), Alexandra Tseffos talks with a few friends on how they are using AI: - Kari Anderson highlights how she is using and seeing AI being used even if the technology is not specific to our industry. - Scott Loomis discusses the reactions to AI innovations at Steelcase. - Felipe T. was a part of the development of a CET extension a year ago that was the first (that we know of) to use AI to find desired product. This episode is packed with information that can help you intentionally use AI and understand the areas of caution too.

Alexandra Tseffos attended her first #CETExperience in 2009 - back then it was a smaller group of people that gathered for something called the CET User Conference. In this latest episode of The Design POP Podcast (an Imagine a Place production), she looks back at the journey to arrive at the event. It was filled with emotion, loss, and a few funny moments along the way. We also look forward with Stefan Persson, CEO of Configura to hear about what's new at this upcoming CET Experience in Grand Rapids, MI as well as chat with Allessandra Sollazzo about how her career has evolved since taking home 2 CET Awards at last year's event.
