WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Regina F. Lark, Ph.D., Certified Professional Organizer (CPO), will deliver a keynote on June 12, 2025, during the Closets Conference & Expo, which takes place June 11-13, 2025, at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.
In her presentation, "Stuffed and Stressed: The Brain Science Behind Closet Chaos and How to Fix It," Dr. Lark will explore the neuroscience underlying disorganization. She suggests that the real issue often isn't a lack of space but factors like executive dysfunction, decision fatigue, and emotional labor. Attendees will discover why traditional storage solutions sometimes fail and how to reframe clutter as a cognitive challenge rather than a personal failing.
Using storytelling, interactive polls, and brain-based organizing insights, Dr. Lark aims to equip closet and storage professionals with practical tools. Participants will learn strategies to coach clients through decluttering, reduce decision fatigue, and design spaces that genuinely support well-being by maximizing space to minimize stress. The high-energy session promises laughter, learning, and actionable insights.
Book giveaway and meet & greet
Conference attendees have a special opportunity to receive a free copy of Dr. Lark's book, "Psychic Debris, Crowded Closets." The first 200 individuals who register for a full conference pass using the code FREEBOOK will receive the book.
Attendees can meet Dr. Lark and have their books signed during a special Meet & Greet session on June 12 at 11 a.m. in the Woodworking Network Lounge, Booth 537.
