2026 Revel in Design

Tables on sale now!

It’s no secret — designers are a fun crowd, and at IIDA, we know how to throw a fabulous fête. That’s why you don’t want to miss out on Revel in Design, IIDA’s annual celebration on the eve of Chicago Design Week (NeoCon and Fulton Market Design Days), hosted by Cheryl S. Durst, Hon. FIIDA, IIDA’s Executive Vice President and CEO.

This year we have some exciting additions to bring even more excitement and energy to this evening that convenes the dazzling stars of the design industry! And as always, we will honor winners of the esteemed Interior Design Competition and Will Ching Design Competition — and have a ball in the process.

We’ll bring the dinner, stellar dance moves, and celebration of design excellence; you bring yourself (and preferably, a friend). Get your dancing shoes ready. We’ll be waiting for you!

Revel After Dark

Once the Revel in Design ceremony and dinner concludes, the lights go down, and the music turns up. You should too! This party is just for those that want to head straight to the dance floor for the after party you’ve been waiting for all year. Tickets go on sale Spring 2026. Stay tuned for details.
