Want to future-proof your design practice? Start designing for everyone.
Presented by the IDSA Disability Section, this dynamic session will expand your creative lens through the principles of universal and inclusive design. You’ll learn from real-world examples and solution-finders who are putting these principles into practice—proving that designing with access and equity in mind leads to smarter, more impactful outcomes across industries.
Then, shift from listening to doing. In partnership with Design Core Detroit, you’ll take part in a guided interactive experience—whether it's a collaborative brainstorm or a mini design challenge, you’ll team up with fellow creatives to reimagine real-world scenarios through the lens of inclusion and accessibility.
Whether you specialize in physical products, digital platforms, built environments, or services, this session delivers actionable tools and fresh perspectives to power your next project.
Come rethink what’s possible—and leave with inclusive ideas you can put into action tomorrow.
