The International Design Conference and Education Symposium (IDC) will take place in Austin, Texas, USA, from September 11th to 13th, 2024. This conference provides a powerful platform that amplifies the unique and bold voice of industrial design while celebrating its deep interconnection with other creative disciplines. IDC aims to offer an immersive experience where designers, innovators, and thought leaders converge to propel the future of design.
This annual international conference is a flagship event for the organization, serving as a pivotal experience for industrial designers at all career stages. It acts as a cornerstone for the global design community.
Theme: "Design Disrupted: Shaping the Future of Design"
In line with this theme, the following measures have been taken: Industrial design is undergoing significant changes, affecting designers worldwide. However, by cultivating collective adaptability, we can shape and redefine our industry and prove our value.
In this rapidly changing environment, designers face new pressures due to the global economy and mass layoffs in design. Now, more than ever, designers must demonstrate their value as the tools we employ and the roles we fulfill continue to evolve. Together, we’ll explore the skills needed to remain relevant through agility and adaptability while forging connections with fellow attendees.
The IDC and Education Symposium provides a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collective action towards shaping a better future through design. The conference aims to inspire, challenge assumptions, and advance the conversation about design’s contribution to the world’s future.
The primary purpose of the International Design Conference and Education Symposium (IDC) is to facilitate economic growth by providing financial and technical assistance to industrial projects. As industrial design changes with disruptions affecting designers globally, we don’t have to face these challenges alone. By cultivating collective adaptability, we have the power to shape and redefine our industry and prove our value. IDC continues to ask: Are you prepared to embrace these changes and elevate your design skills to new heights?
