The nature of healthcare, education, governance, banking and other pillars of society were once understandable and stable. Due to new technology and business models, they are now perplexing and volatile. The standard methods and frameworks invented in the 20th century to help leaders manage with certainty are now inadequate. Leaders are realizing that design can help them navigate the world.

IDSA Chicago would like to thank everyone who attended the IDSA Chicago Annual Holiday Party, hosted by The Bedford. We would also like thank the design firms who donated products and books to our raffle; such as MNML, Inventables, and all who helped! We hope everyone had an excellent Holiday season. From the IDSA Chicago Board, we wish you a Happy New Year! We hope to see you at our IDSA Chicago events in 2013!

-Special thanks to Peter Wachter for taking photos of the event-

You can show up in a costume if you like!

It's optional - BUT Radius will have a costume competition for best costume in the land!

Radius will provide beverages, snacks, candy and movies! We will have in our presence a talented engineer who has some serious carving skills! Don't miss his demonstrations, all part of the event! We hope to see everyone there!
