Anyone else planning on going to the IDSA IDC in Chicago, August 21 - 23? I’m pretty pumped that J Mays will be giving the keynote. I heard hime speak in 2004 I think, back in his early Ford days when he had just published the book Retrofuturism.
One of the nicest guys in the field, helped me when I was first getting started. Too bad Ford’s corporate culture and inability to execute put a blemish on his rising career. The Five Hundred and Flex didn’t live up to expectations. Ingeni studio was a major flop, cost Ford millions and many talented people lost their jobs.
Would be cool to meet up! For now, there is this upcoming event at TEAMS
“IDSA Chicago is having an IDC Preview Event on Friday, July 12th from 6PM to 9PM at TEAMS Design to get Chicago based designers and potential attendees excited about IDSA’s International Design Conference happening in Chicago on August 21st - 23rd, 2019. This preview event will feature panel discussions from some of IDC’s speakers, a map that previews all of the conference activities, food and drinks, and a very good reason why you should attend IDC. IDSA Chicago is working with TEAMS Design to being you the awesome “Chicago Design Experience” - be sure to not miss this amazing event - a special announcement to be made at this event!”
