Student Symposium is an annual event for Interior Design Students within the Texas Chapter and beyond. It exposes budding designers to the real world of interior design and brings Students together to interact and learn from established Professionals and Industry members.

This phenomenal series of events is exclusively for ASID Student Members and is filled with rich opportunities that expose students to the reality of this amazingly diverse profession.
