NeoCon 2024 brilliantly highlighted future design trajectories. Our team at Haystack pinpointed five significant trends: the incorporation of storytelling in design, community-centered design approaches, experiential design elements, the impact of hybrid work models on office layouts, and the emerging role of generative AI in design.

In today's digital age, one might wonder, "Is there still a need for trade shows like NeoCon?" It's a legitimate question to ask. With the rapid rise and dominance of virtual avenues in almost every aspect of business, it would seem as if we could just transition all of our activities to the online world, eliminating the need for in-person meetings or events.
