In all of the conference excitement we neglected one thing-- the product auction. Yes, we see the irony in product designers overlooking the product, but our loss is your gain; this is your opportunity to score some swank products for cheap and support the Chicago IDSA at the same time! Check out the Post-Shift Auction!

The economy, culture, business,
manufacturing, design trends, technology, the environment.
What do they have in common? They're all shifting. Modern
life is becoming defined by a constant rate of change, and
shows no sign of stopping.
Shift Happens, and the best way to deal with it is
to stay abreast of these changes and adapt... or be left behind.
The Shift Happens Midwest IDSA Conference
will focus on movement in the design industry. It will be
a unique and innovative conference: We have a number of new
events to make this an inspirational and rewarding weekend.
The collective presentations will aim to give the attendees
a sense of current shifting trends, and therefore point the
way to what the future holds for us. Get ahead in shifting
topics such as:
Asian Competition, Design Trends, New Technology, What Corporations
Want, Designing Green, Big-Box Monopolies, and shifting
from Industrial Design to Management.
Shift Happens IDSA Regional Conference, W City Center Chicago, April 16 - 18 2004.
The New Face of the Silicon Age - Tech jobs are fleeing to India faster than ever. Remember that old Silicon Valley mantra, "Change is good"?
The Rise of the Creative Class - Millions of us are beginning to work and live much as creative types like artists and scientists always have - with the result that our values and tastes, our personal relationships, our choices of where to live, and even our sense and use of time are changing. Leading the shift are the nearly 38 million Americans in many diverse fields who create for a living-- the Creative Class.
What is the IDSA?
The IDSA is the voice of the industrial
design profession, advancing the quality and positive impact
of design.
