Theme: Design + Performance
For the 2025 AIGA Design Conference, taking place October 9-11 in Los Angeles, California, we're seeking proposals that resonate with our theme for this year: "Design + Performance."
We are accepting proposals (300 words or less, with three bulleted attendee takeaways) for any of the following:
- Design Dialogue (a Socratic seminar-style group discussion—using questions to advance the conversation with the audience—on an important topic, limited to 45 minutes or less)
- Panel Discussion (a maximum of three presenters around a theme, limited to 45 minutes or less)
- Presentation (limited to 45 minutes or less)
- Workshop (limited to 2 hours or less)
- Other (we are also open to proposals outside of the default formats above)
Takeaways may include resources, frameworks, case studies, advice, and anecdotal experiences. We encourage proposals that promote collaboration, diverse perspectives, and dialogue.
We are open to your interpretation of the theme and how you see design and performance intersecting. To help you get started, refer to the 50-second theme announcement and/or the 23-minute AIGA Design Podcast episode introducing the Design + Performance theme below:
