2013 Southern District Design Conference


Graduate Expo: Call for Entries! Deadline March 15.


		It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2013 Southern District Design Conference: Revitalize with Design. Design has no limit; it has the power to change so many things, from a stale product category, to how business is done on a local or global level. Design has the power to be a catalyst that redefines the innovative edge of your business and your industry. Business, society, the economy and our daily lives are evolving more rapidly than ever before. New ideas, opportunities, technologies and methodologies have changed the way we work and do business both domestically and globally. How has design helped shape that change, and how will we be a force for change moving forward? Your Southern District planning team is securing innovative speakers, developing informative workshops and creating energizing evening activities to make this the best conference experience yet. You will hear from some of the brightest minds, both designers and professionals from other industries, who will share how they used design and design thinking to change their industry and set themselves apart from the crowd. They will also take you through an in-depth look at how design and design thinking has helped revitalize the way business is done. You will learn how they’ve used design to change the game in their industries. And, you’ll walk away with a new perspective and actionable insights on how to increase your own value and revitalize your business in the wake of dramatic changes in technology, culture and our slowly recuperating economy. So make sure to mark your calendar and join us April 5-6 in Raleigh, NC, for Revitalize With Design. Looking forward to seeing you there! Cheers, Chris Parke, IDSA Southern District VP Click here for more information on the conference.
