chicago design week—intersections in design
aiga’s chicago design week programming runs october 23–29, 2017 and is dedicated to the topic at hand—a deep examination of the various intersections impacting the design world and our broader communities.

the definition of design and its role in society is evolving at a rapid pace. a deepening overlap between disciplines, skills, roles, perspectives, industries, communities and more has never been more apparent or more integral to how the design community defines itself. collaboration and debate, synchronicity and tension—these forces are driving the evolution of our profession, the world around us, and role we play within it.
