Celebrate #IndustrialDesignDay with us!
First entered into the U.S. Congressional Record in 2015 by U.S. Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, National Industrial Design Day declares that industrial designers “improve our lives in every way and are worthy of our recognition.” The first National ID Day marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of IDSA on March 5, 1965.
We encourage you to share your industrial design stories and reflections on social media with the hashtag #IndustrialDesignDay. Questions? Email us at [email protected].
Special thanks to our Media Partner, Core77!
