See the Sizzle

The IDSA International Design Conference 2016 in Detroit, MI attracted hundreds of designers from around the world to the state with the highest concentration of industrial designers. Sensational speakers, trending topics, exciting panels (including a television show taping!) all took the stage. The conference also featured networking, a Career Center, fantastic tours, parties and more, and was kicked off by the International Design Excellence Awards at The Henry Ford.

Smart Design at Any Age

A new AARP panel on universal design is bringing together leading practitioners—in products, the home and the community. “While many of us may not always realize it, design impacts our lives every day,” reports the organization with nearly 38 million members, age 50 and older.

"Phenomenal"
