Check out some of our favorite products that we saw at NeoCon 2023.
It was exciting to see NeoCon bounce back fully this year from the challenging pandemic era. You could feel the energetic vibe and improvements at The Mart, which made it much easier to navigate the show and enjoy the new amenity spaces such as the Grand Stair and Marshall’s Landing. In no particular order, here are some products that are pushing the envelope in great design and creativity.
