<p class="MsoNormal">Also worth considering is the Student lecture on April 28th.<o:p></o:p></p>

<em><span style="font-family:source_sans_pro_regular">Top Designs</span></em>' exhibited works, folios and design plans. This is followed by a presentation by an industry professional who represents best practice within their particular field of design. In
some instances, there will also be a previous or current <em><span style="font-family:source_sans_pro_regular">Top Designs</span></em> exhibitor speaking. The forum allows time for Q&A. “<o:p></o:p></span></p>
