All work and no play makes for a dull designer. So IDSA is ensuring the 2015 International Conference in Seattle offers some opportunities for attendees to have almost as much fun off-hours, as they will during the conference.

Design Studio Tours, bolstered by light appetizers and beverages, will be offered in the evenings at some of the best firms in the city. You can walk, hop a cab or in some cases, the train. See here for some transportation options. 

They've been judged by experts in what Board of Directors Chair John Barratt, IDSA, calls the "most rigorous and thoughtful" design competition in the world—and narrowed from hundreds of entries to 81 top winners. Now, you have the chance to choose what you think is the best-of-the-best among the Silver and Gold International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) for 2015.

WOW. What a fascinating and inspiring evening!
