ICSID 50

About Icsid 50
Icsid 50 brought together the Icsid network of members in celebration of 50 years of achievements in industrial design. Through a series of events and initiatives in 2007, the evolution of the organisation was presented and celebrated, as we looked ahead to the next 50 years of operations. The highlight of the festivities was the Icsid/IDSA Congress, CONNECTING'07, in San Francisco in October 2007.


Icsid’s success over the past 50 years is due in many ways to the participation and involvement of its members. We thank the Icsid members and partners for their continued support of our projects and programmes.
