The Designer’s Lounge Retreat Presale
SPRING 2026
May 12–14
This spring, we're gathering again in Milford, Connecticut for three days centered on the deeper work of running a design business: deep-dive sessions with industry specialists, honest peer-to-peer exchange, and a creative reset that comes from stepping out of the day-to-day. And to celebrate, we’re adding something special to the presale.

A LOOK INSIDE THE SPRING RETREAT
The Designer's Lounge Retreat isn't about keynotes and name badges in a sea of strangers.
It's an intimate gathering on the Connecticut coast—a creative reset with business strategy that actually moves your practice forward.
The presentations give you frameworks and strategies you can implement immediately. But the real transformation happens because the speakers stay for every meal and actually want to talk shop.
The magic?
It's in the dinner conversations that go so long they shut restaurants down, or in the casual hallway moment when someone mentions exactly how they solved the problem you've been stuck on for months.
What past attendees had to say about the retreat
-
I really enjoyed the retreat. The speakers were knowledgeable and good at imparting their expertise, but the gold is always found in between the learning where you can chat about how making those changes will impact your life
— Dalia Soles, Design Assisted
-
In addition to the setting and the food: getting to meet so many other designers that are in the same phase of life and building their businesses… it's so impactful to hear how others are doing x, y, and z.
— Mary Bourke, Walsh Bourke Interiors
-
It resonated with me and what I am trying to achieve. I took so many little things away from that talk. It changed how I will do business going forward
— Kerry Seely, Kerry Seely Design
OUR LOCATION
Milford is a coastal gem where New England charm meets laid-back luxury. With its walkable downtown, historic homes, and over 17 miles of shoreline, it’s the kind of place where you can grab oysters by the water after a morning of boutique browsing. It’s effortlessly pretty—and an easy train ride from both NYC & Boston.
A retreat designed to support the decisions that move your business forward and to explore the future of our industry together.
