INTERNATIONAL DESIGN ALLIANCE OPENS CALL FOR INTEREST FOR ITS 2011 CONGRESS
04.12.2006 News
The
deadline for proposal submissions is 19 January 2007. From the initial
submissions, a short list of candidates will be invited to submit full
bids that will be reviewed by the IDA Executive Committee in May 2007.
The
IDA exists to bring the benefits of design to world bodies,
governments, business and society. The Congress is the optimum
environment in which to advance the aims of the alliance in a themed
framework and to reach a truly global audience. The Call for Interest
is a general call, meaning it is open to both members and non-members
of the IDA s constituent partners: the International Council of
Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid), the International Council of
Graphic Design Associations (Icograda) and the International Federation
of Interior Architects (IFI), whose affiliation with the IDA is due for
ratification by its members next year. These three partners have held
numerous joint congresses in the past, but hope that the first IDA
Congress will set a new standard for international design collaboration
events. Proposals that demonstrate an original and innovative approach
and that celebrate the modern role of design in the world are therefore
welcomed.
The benefits to the host of an IDA Congress are
plenty: profile building events that attract the leaders in global
design, global media coverage, lucrative sponsor relationship building,
investment in the host local area and a long-lasting relationship with
the networks of the IDA partner organisations.

In
a major step for the global design community, the International Council
of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid) and the International Council
of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda) have committed themselves to
forming a collective voice for all disciplines of design through the
creation of the International Design Alliance (IDA). Pending approval
at its General Assembly in 2007, the International Federation of
Interior Architects (IFI) will also join these two founding partners.
