We have all lived through an unprecedented global pandemic that has changed how we approach life. What it means to work, socialize with friends and family, and even prepare a meal. Everything changed drastically within the space of a few weeks.

People who barely knew how to turn on their oven started experimenting in the kitchen. Others, accustomed to dining out, found themselves food prepping for weeks at a time; and many people with families, partners, or roommates found themselves once again gathering together at meal times. The pandemic changed the way we live at home, including how we utilize our kitchens, home offices, and technology.

Learning Objectives

  • Examine how the kitchen has evolved from a utilitarian to social space and how recent COVID-19 events may further this evolution.
  • Explore the idea of a wellness kitchen and how kitchen design can improve wellness and nutrition
  • Discover how kitchen appliances, both large and small, optimize food preservation, minimize stress in the kitchen, and help people stay connected
  • Analyze how working from home will affect future residential design, and how kitchen appliances can be incorporated into a home office

Kindly register by July 21 in order to guarantee food.

We hope you can make it!
