Dear Friends:

Trade Show Season 2023 is in high gear! After a successful IBS show at the end of January, we are setting up now for the Hospitality Design (HD) show literally right around the corner - May 2-4 - in Las Vegas, everyone’s favorite city. HD will be at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, and we will be in booth 5261. Please stop by and check out our latest furniture components, especially our new Power and Communications Systems. We are taking PCS concepts and USB C to a new level! Be our guest and attend for free with code EX/V/196104.

For the 35th or so year now, we will also have a substantial display at the annual NEOCON office furniture show at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago June 12-14. We’ll be on the 7th floor in our usual spot, booth 9030.

Our hero Colton Herta finished 4th a few weeks ago at the Long Beach Grand Prix IndyCar race and is doing well a few events into the 2023 series. He’ll be a contender at the Indy 500 on Sunday, May 28, on Memorial Day weekend. Catch it live on NBC.

We had over 300 participants in our 'Are you smarter than AI?' contest last week! Congratulations to those who chose correctly and received their $10 Starbucks gift card. And for those wondering - Block #1 was written by a human being, and Block #2 was written by ChatGPT

This month we are celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by recognizing AAPI architects and designers who shaped the industry. Please keep an eye out for our spotlights in this month's emails or read our full blog here.

 Have a great month of May.

Cordially,
Douglas A.J. Mockett
