Can I attend more than one design summit?

Due to high demand, individuals can only participate in a full-length summit one time. Depending on an individual’s skill set, they may also be eligible to attend a themed summit as determined by the IDDS Steering Committee.

After participating in any summit, individuals become part of the IDIN Network and can get involved as a summit organizer or a part of their local chapter.   

My organization wants to host a design summit. How do we apply?

The IDDS Steering Committee accepts proposals to host a design summit througout the year. Learn more about hosting a design summit here.

Do I need to be from the country I wish to host a summit in?

Not necessarily, but we require that the summit’s lead organizer has lived there and/or is familiar with the culture, context, and language for the country.
