Since the first congress in Stockholm, Sweden in 1959, the biennial
congress and general assembly continue to provide an ideal environment
for representatives of member organisations to exchange ideas on
current and future design directions, as well as to engage in
innovative programmes of extraordinary speakers, leading thinkers and
inspiring individuals from around the world.
