#IntDesignerChat Community Guidelines

#IntDesignerChat is the International community of Interior Designers, Interior Architects,  Kitchen and Bath designers, and professionals in the Home Decor Industry. Our weekly twitter chat has International attendance every Tuesday at 6pm EST, 5pm CST, 4pm MST, 3pm PS, and 11pm GMT.  We use the #hashtag… #IntDesignerChat.  Our Twitter handle is @IntDesignerChat.  We also have a LinkedIn Group for professional participants of our weekly Interior Designer Chat.   We have a established community of professionals and the community was   founded in 06/2010 for inspiration, education, and giving back.  

Like everything at #IntDesignerChat, these Guidelines are a work in progress that we will continue to improve upon.  We’re working hard to make #IntDesignerChat the best place for you to find inspiration from people who share your interests.  We’ve gotten a lot of help from our community as we’ve crafted these Guidelines from our Chat, The Future Is Ours To Create.
