Event News

IDSA is #MakingThingsHappen at its 2016 International Conference (@IDSA #IDSADetroit16) from Aug. 17 to 20 in Detroit, MI. The dynamic event will be held in the first US metropolis to be named a UNESCO City of Design—and in the state with the highest concentration of industrial designers.

Some major news coming out of the latest 2015 International Design Congress in Korea.

With a majority vote, the 29th General Assembly of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid) approved a name change for Icsid to World Design Organization. Attended by member organizations from more than 50 nations, Icsid's General Assembly also agreed to renew the vision and mission of the Council.

The Museum of Science in Boston will give visitors a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the traveling exhibit, The Science Behind Pixar, on Oct. 13, 2015.

Beth Malandain, the museum’s senior exhibit designer; Mike Horvath, design manager; and Emily Marsh, senior graphic designer, will discuss the multi-year design process of the Science Behind Pixar—a 10,000 square foot show that arrived in the summer at the museum.

IDSA wants to put your stamp on its next International Conference, set for August 17-20, 2016 in Detroit. The Society is calling on members to submit a logo design for Making Things Happen.
