Update on IDSA's District Design Conferences

 

In November 2018, IDSA made an announcement that we were making changes to our events programming which included the discontinuation of our five District Design Conferences. While this news may come as a surprise, trust that no one at IDSA takes a change like this lightly and we would only make such a move as this if we knew something better was on the horizon.

At its core, the future of IDSA is built around a renewed focus on strengthened communities and quality content to return a lasting stabilization in health of the Society and an improved membership experience.

Design Defined: The Lack of Women in Industrial Design
