Dear Students,

I am Meghan Preiss, IDSA, the chair of the Industrial Designers Society of  America's Students Special Interest Section, and a recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in both industrial design and service design. I have been active in IDSA for more than two years. It has been a completely life changing experience.

Harness the Power

Attendees of IDSA's International Design Excellence Awards Gala, set for Sat., Aug. 19, 2017 at High Museum of Art, can access a new exhibit of the works of a legendary artist. "Andy Warhol harnessed the power of celebrity, consumer goods, sex, death and disaster to create his iconic Pop Art. The foundation of his revolutionary career lay in printmaking," says High Museum of Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D.

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"

IDSA's first Women+Design Summit (#IDSAWomenDesign)—focusing on the unique challenges and accomplishments of women in design—was held on May 12, 2017 at the Renaissance San Diego. A reception, sponsored by PepsiCo, was held on the evening of May 11 on the hotel's rooftop lounge.
