Sections

Going beyond local IDSA relationships by knowledge-sharing in professional segments of your choice.

Sections

IDSA’s Sections are special interest groups for design professionals, each section serving as community centers for knowledge-sharing and subject matter expertise within specific design domains or design practice specialties. Sections provide additional pathways for connection beyond geographical boundaries for professionals who share design interests or professional segments in common. Sections produce content and host events, often in partnership with IDSA’s chapters.

IDSA Sections provide members the following benefits:

  • Design knowledge through member-generated resources.
  • Professional development and continuing education opportunities within your design specialty.
  • Connection to subject matter experts throughout the greater design community.

IDSA Sections aim to create repositories of knowledge and pathways of connection for members of our community who share common interests or areas of work. Sections are not geo-graphically bound but often partner with IDSA’s Chapters to produce content and host events together.
