INTERIOR DESIGN 30/30

Join us at THE MART in Chicago for INTERIOR DESIGN’s 30/30 National Conference—a three-day celebration of rising talent and the bold ideas reshaping the future of design. Created exclusively for professionals under 30, this immersive event offers a rare opportunity to learn, connect, and grow alongside fellow emerging leaders.

With limited spots available, early-career designers can apply for a chance to join peers and industry innovators for three days of inspiration, energized discussions, and meaningful connections—all set within one of the design world’s most dynamic environments.
