Similar to MIPIM in format, but on a more modest scale, The Fix aims is to facilitate business for all of us. Its goal is to enliven the industry and bring a contract within everyone’s reach – putting clients in touch with developers, and developers in touch with architects and designers.

The driving forces behind The Fix are Jon Tollit (Gensler), Theresa Dowling (FX and Blueprint), Audra Lamoon (Livewire), and Terry Cole (Cole Consulting). Each hold personal contacts with the world’s best and most powerful in design, property, business, and will be using them to guarantee an attendance list of high-calibre guests on the night. Audra Lamoon from Livewire, says: ‘We foster like-minded people, and work with those who we trust.’

Access to the industry matchmaking event is invitation-only, but also invited to the event will be the shortlisted nominees of selected categories from this year’s FX International Interior Design Awards, being held in November. Theresa Dowling says: ‘If there is a way I can make a million pounds for our FX readers through facilitating face-to-face introductions, I’d be very happy to do so – and I bet they would be too!’

We are looking for sponsors, so please contact Theresa at tdowling@fxmagazine.co.uk if you would like to be involved.
