The 2023 Event

We hope you didn’t miss the 2023 edition of our annual chapter conference, Celebrating Design Texas: Education, Expo & Awards, which took place August 2-4, 2023! Though we were back on the campus of Chapter Diamond Sponsor Dallas Market Center, we moved the Education & Expo portion from the Trade Mart over to the World Trade Center and the Interior Home + Design Center, the new home of the ASID Texas Chapter office.

Besides the new location, we had several new additions for 2023: an Opening Night Party, four 30-minute Pop-Up Talks on a variety of topics, and Student Programming. All these new components were on top of a 34-vendor showcase, 15 hours of IDCEC-approved CEUs, campus tours for Students/Emerging Designers, a Thursday evening Happy Hour, and a glamorous Friday evening Awards Gala in downtown Dallas.

Student Symposium

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 week-long event is filled with rich opportunities that expose students to the reality of this amazingly diverse profession. Students are able to interact one-on-one with professionals from all facets of design: education, healthcare, hospitality, institutional, multifamily, residential, retail and workplace.

Student Symposium 2024 will take place June 3-7 and will feature Real World Design Week, four days (Monday, June 3 - Thursday, June 6) of personalized mentoring through shadow experiences, all culminating in a fifth day (Friday, June 7) of group events taking place in our Design Communities. Organized by the ASID Texas Chapter, this phenomenal week-long event is exclusively for ASID Student Members.
