The Buffalo City Center of the New York Chapter of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA NY) is thrilled to announce the 10th Annual BuffCon, the region’s premier interior design trade show. Taking place on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Powerhouse (140 Lee Street, Buffalo, NY 14210), this milestone event promises to be Buffalo’s biggest interior design showcase yet.
Open to the public, BuffCon 2025 will bring together designers, architects, contractors, manufacturers, and design enthusiasts for an evening filled with inspiration and connection. The event will feature an extensive lineup of exhibitors highlighting the latest trends, innovative products, and cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of interior design. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore fresh ideas, discover creative solutions, and immerse themselves in the industry’s evolving landscape.
“For a decade, this show has been where Buffalo’s design community comes together to dream bigger, connect deeper, and shape the spaces of tomorrow,” said Brittany Nowicki, Buffalo City Center Co-Director. “This year, we’re celebrating not just ten years of growth, but the boundless creativity and collaboration that make our region shine.” Caitlin Waldron, Co-Director of the Buffalo City Center, added, “This anniversary event will celebrate rich talent and creativity in Western New York while also bringing our community together in ways that inspire and energize us for the future.”
The Powerhouse’s industrial-chic setting—with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and historic character—will provide the perfect backdrop for networking with top design professionals and discovering innovative materials, furnishings, and finishes.
