Women in Design Deep Dive 2020

October 6-7, 2020
Virtual Event

Women in Design is a gathering built to recognize the unique talents, initiatives, and challenges of women in the industrial design industry.

IDSA is proud to continue our mission of creating safe and welcoming spaces for critical conversations. Women in Design is just that kind of event and aims to disrupt decades-old patterns of inequality by establishing a new, more inclusive, and equitable design industry.

Designers and creatives of all genders are invited to explore the challenges faced by women in design today, and generate meaningful solutions for inclusivity and gender parity in the workplace. Join us to celebrate inspiring leaders who are forging their own paths and energizing future generations to follow in their footsteps. As creative professionals and change-makers in industry, it is our responsibility to question the status quo and contribute to building new norms for our profession.
