What's Next?

IDSA's first Future of Design Leadership Panel, held at the 2015 International Conference in Seattle, is making headlines. IDSA Member Thomas Lockwood moderated the panel that included chief design officers (CDOs) representing corporations with hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues: Philips, Intuit, Microsoft, PepsiCo, 3M, Johnson & Johnson and REI.  Along with leaders from Design Management Institute and Whipsaw, the speakers tackled challenging questions about their climb to the top, and where they believe design is headed.

IDSA Makes the Connections

From coast-to-coast in April 2016, IDSA will host five District Design Conferences (DDCs), providing hundreds of industrial design students and professionals with the opportunity to meet face-to-face, explore the latest developments in design and related fields, secure career advice, recognize the next generation of designers in the IDSA Student Merit Awards and tour top-rated design institutions in the United States.

Invigorated about Design

"It was such a great, intimate event and I left feeling so invigorated about design and our ID women community," says Grace Lee, IDSA, of the IDSA Women in Design Fireside Chat with Cameron Campbell, IDSA.
