One Membership. Three Major Opportunities.

12 May 2026
Vegas, industry recognition, exclusive member perks, and a chance to win FREE conference registration? This is your sign to get involved with IDS this month.

One Membership. So Many Opportunities.

At IDS, everything is designed to help you grow:

  • Grow your business
  • Grow your confidence
  • Grow your community
  • Grow your visibility in the industry

From the Designer of the Year Awards to the IDS National Conference in Las Vegas, IDS Membership connects you to opportunities that support your career at every stage. 

Whether you’re ready to:

  1. Join or renew your membership
  2. Submit your work for Designer of the Year
  3. Attend the IDS Conference in Las Vegas
     

Or maybe all three… There’s never been a better time to get involved!

Headed to Vegas? Here's Why You Should Start with an IDS Membership.

The 2026 IDS National Conference in Las Vegas is going to be an unforgettable experience filled with inspiring speakers, business-building education, networking opportunities, celebrations, and the kind of energy that reminds you why community matters in this industry.

One of the biggest perks of being an IDS Member? Access to discounted conference registration rates. So, if Vegas is on your radar, now is the perfect time to join or renew.

Even better: through May 31st, every member who joins or renews will automatically be entered into our Conference Registration Giveaway for a chance to win a FREE conference registration. That means two lucky winners are heading to Vegas on us.

Thinking About Entering Designer of the Year?

This is your sign. The submission deadline for the 2026 Designer of the Year Awards is May 18th, and there’s still time to submit your best and latest project (or projects!)

This year, we’ve made the process even easier. Space Design categories are now organized by square footage instead of budget, simplifying submissions and making it easier to find the right fit for your projects. Winning isn’t the only benefit of entering, either.

Submitting your work helps:

  • Elevate your brand
  • Build credibility with clients
  • Gain national recognition

And remember, you must be an active IDS Member to submit. Which means your membership doesn’t just connect you to conference perks and community… it also opens the door to industry recognition.

 

Important Dates to Remember

  • Designer of the Year Awards Deadline: May 18, 2026
  • Join IDS or Renew by May 31, 2026 to Enter the IDS Conference Registration Giveaway

We can’t wait to celebrate your designs, welcome you to Vegas, and continue building this incredible community together. See you there!
