Be Original Americas is an organization dedicated to educating people about the ethical, environmental, and economic importance of original design. Their goal is to spread the word about how good design makes a difference in our lives.

The special guests of the evening were:

• Barbara Bouza of Gensler LA
• Gregg Buchbinder of Emeco
• Elena Manferdini of Atelier Manferdini and SCI-Arc
• Bret Englander of Cerno
• Amanda Dameron of Tastemade
• Danne Semeraro of Sempli
