SAVE THE DATE to spotlight leadership in the Chicago design community!

The IIDA Illinois 2026 Leaders Breakfast looks to connect the diverse group of professionals in our industry, celebrating design excellence through our Leadership Award of Excellence honoree and offer a motivational and thought-provoking keynote speaker. This year in keeping with the chapters’ dedication to celebrating more facets of the design community we will again highlight an up-and-coming IIDA member by honoring an Emerging Leader! Leaders Breakfast is our opportunity to put our chapter’s core values, Connect, Community, Advocate and Cultivate on center stage!

The IIDA Leaders Breakfast is an annual event series that celebrates design’s importance in the global marketplace by honoring the people who are both the legacy and future of design. This is made possible through the support of IIDA Headquarters, International Benefactor MillerKnoll, and Media Partner Interior Design.
