It was hosted by Motorola Mobility at the Merchandise Mart and the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Design.

IDSA-CHI SQ1 CON

In the spirit of advocating for design education, the students of ADS felt they needed to further their mission and make their voices heard nationwide by organizing a conference specifically focused on design sketching. The planning committee, composed of seven Industrial Design students chose to call this conference Square 1 – a phrase that means to begin again after a dead-end or failure. This conference is meant to embrace failure, encourage process, and push creativity.
