We are thrilled to present Residium Design Discovery Mornings, a new initiative designed to build our design community and help exhibitors generate more specifier and design professional leads. This series of events offers an exclusive opportunity for exhibitors to connect directly with an engaged audience of design professionals, showcase their products, and foster meaningful relationships within the industry.
Event Details:
Proposed Dates: May 2, July 18, and October 17, 2025. If interest exceeds this we will add more dates.
Time: 10.00 AM – 12.00 AM
Format: 30-minute presentation slots (max 3 brands per session), followed by tea, coffee, and pastries. The group will be welcomed by Hollie, and guided between participating showrooms.
Each event will feature guided showroom tours led by our exhibitors, allowing you to present your products in a hands-on, immersive format. Whether you're launching a new product or offering an interactive demonstration, this event is an ideal platform to connect with a targeted audience.
Audience Breakdown:
Residium has a robust specifier database, primarily comprising interior designers, architectural designers, architects, and other design professionals. For now, the audience will predominantly be interior designers. After each event, exhibitors will receive a list of registrants and attendees, providing valuable follow-up opportunities.
Why Participate?
Direct Engagement: Build relationships with key design professionals and specifiers in a curated, intimate setting.
Lead Generation: Increase the number of specifier leads and project-driven inquiries for your showroom.
Marketing Support: Residium will manage all marketing and event registration, promoting each event through our email newsletter, social media, events calendars, and in-showroom displays.
Collaboration Opportunities: Consider partnering with another exhibitor or bringing in a guest speaker for a co-branded initiative, further enhancing your presentation.
Cost Sharing: The only cost is an even split between participating brands and Residium for catering. Unlikely to exceed $100 per brand.
Presentation Flexibility: You have complete freedom in how you choose to present—whether through product demonstrations, guided showroom tours, or interactive workshops.
Networking & Beyond:
The event will conclude with informal networking over tea and coffee, allowing further interaction with designers and other exhibitors. This is a great opportunity to deepen connections and explore collaborative opportunities in a relaxed environment.

If you have a specific product launch or event you’d like to host independently without collaborating with other Exhibitors, we can accomodate. Please email hollie@residium.co.nz to make a time to discuss.
We look forward to your participation and are excited to make these events a central part of Auckland’s design calendar in 2025.
