Icsid is the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design

ICSID/IDSA CONNECTING '07

Two years and twenty two years
Every two years, Icsid holds a Congress in collaboration with a member organization in a host country, for example South Korea in 2001, Germany in 2003 and Scandinavia in 2005. The last one in the US was in 1985 in Washington, DC. We are thrilled that San Francisco will be next, as during the intervening twenty two years the Bay Area has emerged as an international center for design with a thriving community of designers from all over the world.

Themes
Connecting People and Places, Connecting Virtual and Visceral, and Connecting Beauty and BountyWe will explore the implications of an evermore connected world, devoting a day each to connecting physically, virtually and culturally. We will seek connections between design, business, brands, services, technology and society. We will offer the opportunity for you to connect with people from diverse design disciplines, backgrounds and nationalities.
