In 2008 Design Defined focused on the Clean + Contain category and New Exhibitor Area. Teams of design professionals and studentsvisited exhibitor booths, spotting quality designed products and then selected products they felt represented Design Defined. The 2007 Design Defined honorees were featured in a display in the Grand 
Concourse Lobby in the North Building. The 2008 Design Defined honorees were announced Monday, March 16 and the slide show announced the selected products to the Show.
