Your career is the most important project you’ll ever take on. Whether you’re aiming to grow into leadership, or seeking strategic momentum after years in the industry, the path forward isn’t always obvious. This interactive workshop gives you the tools to intentionally design your next move. Using a Career Development Roadmap, you’ll reflect on your strengths, define your aspirations, and identify the skills, networks, and opportunities that will move you closer to your goals. You’ll leave with a personalized roadmap, and the confidence to approach your career with the same creativity and strategy you bring to every design challenge.


The Audience Will Learn:

• How to assess their current career stage and identify opportunities for growth.

• Strategies to navigate career transitions and plateaus.

• A structured framework to map goals, skills, networks, and next steps with clarity.

• Ways to communicate design’s value in business terms to boost visibility and influence.

For 60 years, the Industrial Designers Society of America has worked to advance the practice of industrial design through education, information, community, and advocacy. Our roots stretch to the beginning of the profession, and our members are, and have been, some of the most celebrated industrial designers of all time. Today, we exist as a global voice for industrial design within a broad ecosystem of design disciplines and we celebrate the cross-functional overlap of many creative fields.
