Women in Design Deep Dive 2021

July 28-29, 2021
Virtual Event

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

For a 5th consecutive year, IDSA is continuing our efforts to create a safe and welcoming space for critical conversations about the design industry and showcasing the very best female-identified and non-binary designers making a mark today.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to: diversity, equity, and inclusion; corporate and workplace culture; design trends and methodology; design leadership; mentoring; community access and resources.

Join us online as we celebrate inspiring leaders who are forging their own paths and energizing future generations to follow in their footsteps. 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. 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.
