IDSA Design Dialogue Conference- Seattle 2012

-

Announcing the IDSA Western Design Dialogue Conference 2012
Seattle, May 4th and 5th.

And now for something completely different! Industrial designers are pushing across the boundaries of other disciplines, bringing their unique perspective, creative thinking and user centered approach to solve various problems.  Today, industrial design is influencing diverse areas such as politics, interaction, music, film, fashion, and business strategy.  

At the 2012 IDSA Western Design Dialogue Conference we will explore how the role of industrial design is evolving and expanding by breaking through the traditional boundaries.  The role of design is changing in within many contexts; corporations, small firms, and the community.  We will hear from creative and inspiring individuals who are utilizing design in the unexpected places.  These will not be the usual suspects.

There will exceptional networking opportunities to connect with the Western US design community.  Become part of the dialogue. Get inspired by timely and informative sessions, and enjoy great nights out at the 2012 IDSA Western Conference

Venue: Bell Harbor Conference Center (on the waterfront): www.bellharbor.com
Seattle, WA, May 4-5, 2012

We quickly realized that our home spaces and furniture were not designed for these new functions.
