Professional Chapters
Enriching design connections and experiences through local community centers near you.
Professional Chapters
IDSA Professional Chapters are local communities of industrial design professionals delivering professional development and networking to enrich your career and membership experience. Along with your national membership, IDSA members concurrently belong to one of our Professional Chapters if located in the same city.
Within each chapter, members have increased opportunities to attend educational programs, network with fellow members and participate in special events, such as lectures and studio tours. Chapters have local leadership and committees that organize programs and events and spearhead community involvement. IDSA’s network currently includes 35 Professional Chapters across North America.
