DESIGN ADAC Keynote Event: “Originality vs. Algorithm: Authenticity in an AI World”

Does social media hurt or help creative expression? In a conversation led by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Editor-in-Chief Lauren Iverson, designers Sally Draughon, Clary Bosbyshell, and Elaine Griffin celebrate the power of personal expression in an age where trends and algorithms nudge us toward mass-marketed trends and identical rooms. Together, the panelists will reveal the key ingredients to crafting a meaningful, uniquely lived-in home—and how original, thoughtful selections ultimately infuse soul and individuality into our spaces. Following the panel discussion, guests are invited to a meet-and-greet reception with Draughon, Bosbyshell, Griffin and Iverson at the Thibaut showroom, including an exclusive preview of their Spring collections. DESIGN ADAC is a three-day event celebrating design excellence, featuring world-class speakers, curated programming, and immersive experiences that blend creativity, culture, and luxury within ADAC’s more than 550,000 SF campus. DESIGN ADAC 2026 is April 21-23.
