Inaugural In-Person Celebrating Design Texas: Education, Expo & Awards a Big Success

Thank you to everyone who was a part of our inaugural in-person Celebrating Design Texas: Education, Expo & Awards! Over 275 people from all across the ASID Texas Chapter came together Thursday, August 12 & Friday, August 13 for CDT21 on the campus of ASID Texas Chapter Sponsor Dallas Market Center and in the Trade Mart showroom of ASID Industry Partner Progress Lighting.

Participants took advantage of 14 hours of HSW, IDCEC-approved CEUs, a vendor showcase, tours for Students/Emerging Designers, a lighting-focused progressive happy hour, and a festive awards cocktail party. CDT21 definitely accomplished its goal of bringing together our industry to learn, source, socialize, and recognize the achievements of our ASID Texas Chapter members.

While the winners scrolled on multiple monitors, we toasted our honorees with champagne, noshed on heavy hors d'oeuvres, and enjoyed socializing with our fellow ASID members across the entire Texas Chapter for the first time since the pandemic began!
