What happened when a blizzard hit NYC last Wednesday and business slowed to a near halt? The following day at B+B Italia, over 300 IDNY Meetup members and guests trekked across town anyway to hear an architect and a furniture designer speak about stunning new work. |

After the presentations concluded, headliner Greg Karn, Senior Associate at Gwathmey Siegel, and Yatin Patel, a designer who moved to NYC 6 months ago, discovered they have a close colleague in common. |

"Where else can you go to hear a spirited furniture designer speak alongside the architect of a new multi-million dollar hotel? Presenters at the IDNY Meetup typify everything that is so incredible about working in New York - diverse talent and intense fun." Hugh Hayden, Hugh Hayden Design
"We learned a lot about the design of the W Hotel from Greg Karn. Daniel Moyer was very entertaining with his presentation, his designs are very clever, and seem to be easy to assemble. Thanks to everyone involved and to B+B Italia for the plate that I won in the raffle." Dale De Fisher, Nitzan Design
