Events are where ideas spark and connections grow. Join us for learning, networking, and celebrations that keep our design community moving forward.
EVENTS
What we do comes from who we are. Reconnecting with our interior self reminds us of our passion that brought us to where we stand today. Spend this morning recentering your internal self to inspire and motivate your natural leadership. Share the table and journey alongside your fellow, local design directors over guided breathwork, informative discussion, and a personalized brunch.
If you are a Director of Design, we would love to see you there.
Immerse yourself in an evening of engaging discussions and meaningful networking with fellow designers. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just beginning your journey, this event is crafted to inspire and strengthen connections within the design community. Don’t wait—tickets are limited, so secure yours now!
This event’s discussion will focus on Interior Design Advocacy, exploring Missouri’s recently enacted legislation that creates independent practice rights for interior designers and what this could mean for the Kansas design community. The discussion will be led by Meghan Dudek and Katie Kenagy of Kansas City, who played pivotal roles in advocating in Missouri. Our IIDA Curated Connections events brings together designers with diverse experience levels, so whether you are a new designer in the industry or a seasoned professional, we'd love to have you join us for this unique mentorship experience.

Interior Design students and professionals are invited to discover the excitement of glass blowing with our one-time experiences — perfect for getting a taste of what it’s like to create with molten glass.
Professional glass blowers will guide you step-by-step through shaping and adding color, making this a memorable adventure for everyone.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
-This event will start promptly at 5:30pm with an introduction to the studio, a talk about safety, and a demonstration of how the event project is made.
- After the demonstration, each person will get a turn to make their own object with the help of a professional glass blower.
- Each participant gets to choose their own color.
- Wear comfortable breathable clothing made of natural fibers (like cotton) not synthetic, and closed toed shoes.
- Safety glasses are required. We have plenty available for you to use, but feel free to bring your own if you wish.
