The annual Interface + IIDA Converge Summit, which hosted its 4th annual edition in 2022, is known for its palpable energy as designers, students, and industry leaders come together to explore innovative sustainability and wellness solutions in design. But this year marks the start of a new, exciting chapter for a program—and we’re already underway!
The 2023 summit is on tap to offer more opportunities for connection, collaboration, and community building: More young designers will be working closely with sustainability leaders as mentors to conceptualize, evaluate, and implement earth-saving design practices. More immersive sessions about climate change solutions, green economy opportunities and climate action will be held. As Interface and IIDA work together to solve climate change, the future of sustainability has never looked brighter.
In order to make it happen, Interface and IIDA are excited to announce the formation of the Converge Council—a convening of some of the brightest, most sustainably engaged and aware, emerging designers, who will collaboratively work to curate the 2023 programs, set the mission and long term goals for the council, and remain committed to better serve, connect and empower the design community. An integral part of the summit: IIDA Chapter Relations Manager Aleida Fuertes who will be helping IIDA emerging designers from across the country connect, build relationships and collaborate toward change.
