From Project Disasters to Design Wins (a Renovator, Custom Builder and Designer event)

Thursday, May 7th, 2026
08:00 AM - 01:00 PM
AyA Kitchens Showroom, 1551 Caterpillar Rd., Mississauga

Fee: FREE, exclusively for BILD & DDA members

Start your morning with fresh ideas and valuable connections. Join fellow renovators and design professionals for a networking breakfast followed by an interactive panel featuring three industry perspectives: a renovator, a kitchen designer, and an interior designer.

Each panelist will share a real project challenge—outlining the design or construction obstacles they faced without revealing the final solution. Attendees will then break into roundtable groups to collaborate on possible solutions before reconvening to hear the panelists reveal how the challenges were ultimately resolved.

After the program, continue the conversation with networking and optional kitchen plant tours for a behind-the-scenes look at craftsmanship and production.

Schedule:
• 8:00 a.m. – Doors open, breakfast
• 9:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. – Panel Case Study; round table discussions
• 11:30 – 1:00 p.m. - Networking and kitchen plant tours
