A celebration of the diversity, overlap and undeniable power of design.
With its roots as the national meeting of the Industrial Designers Society of America, the IDC has grown into something much bigger. However, at its core remains a platform for amplifying the unique and bold voice of Industrial Design.
Today, we recognize that our creative community is not binary and the role of design is constantly shifting. Once siloed disciplines now overlap and blur. To face this reality, it is critical that we open the conversation to as many creative perspectives as possible in the interest of developing a shared dialogue that advances our ability to collaborate and magnifies the impact of our work.
