"Attending the IDS annual conference in New York City was an inspiring and enriching experience. The events, tours, and speakers were thoughtfully organized and engaging, offering valuable insights and fresh perspectives. I loved connecting with fellow designers and entrepreneurs, discovering new vendors, and leaving with practical takeaways that reignited my excitement for the work I do. The food was fantastic, the energy was uplifting, and the awards gala—as always—was a beautiful celebration of creativity. A surprise outing to the NY Giants game made the experience even more unforgettable. I highly recommend attending and can’t wait for New Orleans 2025!"
