HP will be covering the 11th IIDA New England Interior Design Awards, hosted at the Boston Park Plaza on Wednesday, March 14. The Design Awards event was created in 2007 to celebrate teamwork and showcase interior design projects throughout New England.
This year, IIDA NE has moved the event to allow a larger capacity. It offers an exclusive VIP pre-party to give our sponsors and their guests an opportunity to meet the judges.
The 2018 Design Awards will feature a cocktail hour, plated dinner, awards presentation, and conclude with an on-site post-celebration.
