Women in Design Deep Dive 2021: Recap

 

The second virtual installment of IDSA's Women in Design Deep Dive—and 5th consecutive IDSA event focused on women in industrial design and related fields—drew hundreds of attendees from around the world on July 28 and 29, 2021. The online experience once again proved how important it is for female-identifying and non-binary designers to have a safe space where they can connect, discuss, and generate meaningful solutions for gender parity and inclusivity in the workplace, with allies also in attendance to listen, learn, and support.

Design Voices

 

IDSA's Design Voices is a semi-recurring series of 1-hour virtual events with top design leaders presenting, discussing, and debating current trends and specific practice areas. 

Each discussion is followed by a moderated Q&A where attendees can post questions and interact with the presenters. Topics are pulled from a variety of sources, such as IDSA's Special Interest Sections and subjects requested by our community.
