Taking AI on the Road: Announcing AI Day at High Point + The First Virtual Design Tech Summit
Hey there, fellow designers! I’m Jenna Gaidusek and it’s hard to believe we’re already 45 episodes into the AI for Interior Designers podcast. What started as a spontaneous idea has grown into something bigger: a space for creative pros to explore the real ways AI can support our work—without losing the human touch that makes design so personal.
In this episode, I shared two announcements that have been in the works for months. One of them had over 100 signups before I even mentioned it publicly. So yes—it's time to give you the full download.
AI Day at High Point Market: A Hands-On, In-Person Workshop
We’re bringing AI Day to High Point Market for the first time ever. It’s happening Friday, April 25—the day before Market officially kicks off—and it’s all about putting AI to work in a real-world design setting.
This is not a lecture. It’s a live, hands-on experience hosted by Private Label Furniture Company, a working upholstery manufacturer just outside downtown High Point.
Here’s what you can expect:
A behind-the-scenes tour with CEO John, showing how customization works at scale
A chance to design your own upholstery piece—from frame to fabric to pricing and naming
Access to MyDoma by Studio Designer’s visualizer tool to create 3D renderings
A live working session on using AI to write product descriptions, price pieces, and create visual assets
Training on AR/3D modeling platforms you can start using right away
A “Cocktails & Content” wrap-up hour to create promo content and social-ready videos for your new line
This day is designed to be intimate and high-impact. You’ll leave with more than inspiration—you’ll walk away with a custom collection you can start selling or sourcing immediately.

Introducing the Virtual AI Design Tech Summit
On Thursday, April 4 from 10am to 4pm ET, we’re hosting our first-ever virtual AI Design Tech Summit—and this one’s built for designers who want more clarity (and less overwhelm) when it comes to integrating AI into their process.
This isn’t another passive webinar. We’re using a brand-new event app that makes space for real-time connection, chat, and collaboration—even after the summit ends.
Here’s a peek at what’s inside:
Kickoff + Event App Setup – Your personalized dashboard, networking tools, and themed discussion channels
AI Ethics Panel – A conversation with Laurie Laizure, Sharon Sherman, and Sarah Daniele about AI’s creative and ethical impact on our field
Reimagining the Design Process – How to use MyDoma, launch collections, and free up your time for more creative work
Visualization Tools Deep Dive – Platforms like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Visual Electric for client-ready AR/3D assets without traditional rendering software
Build Your No-Fluff Tech Stack – A strategic approach to choosing 3–5 tools that support your business, not complicate it
Can’t make it live? No problem. Every session will be recorded and shared with attendees afterward. And if you can join live, you’ll get access to real-time Q&A, breakout rooms, and peer collaboration throughout the day.

Why These Events Matter
Let’s be real—designers today are juggling more than ever. Tighter timelines. Bigger expectations. A fast-changing digital landscape. That’s where AI comes in—as a tool that helps us work smarter, not faster for the sake of fast.
But it only works if we use it intentionally.
Both of these events were designed with that in mind:
At AI Day, you’ll walk away with a custom collection—plus the tools and content to launch it.
At the Design Tech Summit, you’ll leave with a clear tech stack and a roadmap for using AI to actually support your work.
This isn’t about replacing designers. It’s about empowering us—making space for more creativity, better client communication, and stronger, more strategic businesses.
A Final Thank You
These events wouldn’t be possible without Private Label Furniture Company and MyDoma by Studio Designer—partners I personally trust and use. I’m also incredibly grateful for the support of our friends at DSA, IDS, and HPxD for helping spread the word.
If you’ve been curious about AI but haven’t known where to start—or you’ve been looking for next steps that feel clear and doable—this is it.
Hope to see you there. And if not, I’ll catch you in the next training, in The DAIly, or on one of the panels coming up soon. One thing’s for sure—we’re just getting started.
Warm regards,
Jenna Gaidusek
CEO, AI for Interior Designers™️
