Never before have one year’s events so demanded a call for action on a global scale, and never before has the Aspen Design Summit been more ready for the challenge.

Design-minded leaders from around the world will gather in Aspen, Colorado to make positive, measurable impacts on the social and cultural concerns of today.

The Aspen Design Summit, a partnership of IDCA and AIGA, is a multi-disciplinary retreat where design thinking and the design process will be used to craft solutions and commit participants to actions that improve the quality of life worldwide. At the Summit, design will be presented as a tool to inform and inspire innovative leadership across society.

Aspen Design Summit presentations and workshops will engage decision makers from around the world in dialogues and activities. Design will be used as a catalyst for innovation, and positive change. While the Aspen Design Summit will reach capacity at 340 participants, the impact will be felt around the globe.
