INDIA DESIGN FESTIVAL (IDF) + USID Conference
: DEMOCRACY
2015, New Delhi (NCR), INDIA
INDIA DESIGN FESTIVAL (IDF) is a lively platform in the Design World, from product to architecture, from strategies to visual experimentation. IDF is a rich surprise that is beyond boundaries of disciplines and limitations of media. It should be a place to experience; meet old friends again, make new ones. IDF will be a weeklong event having a main side event organized in a big city with satellite events across various cities and regions in the country. The satellite events will be organized preferably in parallel to the main event in various
cities/locations/design Institutions across the country. Some events can also be organized pre/post the main event in some of the cities in India. IDF will invite participation not only from design professionals and industry from India, but
also from various design festivals and Design weeks across the world. Each year one International Design Festival/Design Week is nominated as Guest Design Festival/Design Week (e.g Helsinki Design Week, Berlin Design Festival etc.). There will be some theme-focused activities such as Installations, showcase
etc.
We are looking forward to hear from interested individuals, organisations, students, institutions who would be interested in supporting the organisation of IDF as volunteer, supporter and sponsor etc. in making this event successful. Contact usid@usidfoundation.org or call at +91 9695903332
