No comments on the Core77 news?
It’s not every day two organizations come together to create something even greater than the sum of their parts. It is with great excitement that we announce a strategic partnership between Core77 and the Industrial Designers Society of America.
Over the coming year Core77 and IDSA will work together to mutually promote programming offered by both sides to our respective audiences. In keeping with tradition, Core77 will host the portfolio review and a social event at the annual IDSA National Conference (taking place this year in Chicago, from August 20-23). Core77 will implement a new job board at the IDSA web site, welcoming IDSA as a partner into the Coroflot Job Network.
IDSA is the voice of the industrial design profession, advancing the quality and positive impact of design, so a partnership with Core77 is a natural fit. “An official collaboration between our organizations makes perfect sense,” said Stuart Constantine, cofounder of Core77. “Our motives are well aligned and we are both committed to providing the broader design community with unparalleled professional and creative opportunities.”
“While IDSA and Core77 have been cooperating informally for several years, we are happy to have a formal agreement in place to share job board postings and promotion of events that will bring value to designers and the design world,” said George McCain, IDSA’s chairman of the board. “IDSA has the utmost admiration for the online community that Core77 has built and is honored to become an integral part of it.”
Maybe our hopes are becoming reality…
