IIDA Announces 2nd Annual Advocacy Symposium
The International Interior Design Association (IIDA) is proud to announce that registration for the 2nd annual Advocacy Symposium, scheduled for Sept. 23-25 in Denver, Colorado, is now open. The 2016 IIDA Advocacy Symposium will feature a variety of keynote speakers, educational sessions, and panel discussions that will provide attendees with the information they need to be effective interior design advocates.
“After an inspiring inaugural Advocacy Symposium in 2015, we are so pleased to once again offer this unique event to IIDA Members, students, and interior designers-at-large,” said Executive Vice President and CEO Cheryl S. Durst, Hon. FIIDA, LEED AP. “This year’s Symposium will empower, educate, and engage interior design advocates with the most up-to-date and relevant strategies aimed at advancing the profession.”

Sample session topics include: determining an optimal advocacy strategy; increasing the public understanding of interior design; mobilizing colleagues and constituents; the role of communications in advocacy; and working with lobbyists and other stakeholder groups.
