Thursday, Jan. 23, 9-10am
Interior Design Show
Room 201B

We live and breathe design, and instinctively know its value. In a resource focused economy like Canada’s, how do we make sure that the sector gets the recognition and support it needs? How can we better represent design in Ontario? Hear from DIAC’s Strategic Director and a panel of experts about the work done so far, plans for the future, and how a bold new graphic identity has been developed to help the mission.
Topics covered:
The role and importance of advocacy
Redesigning a design organization
DIAC’s place in gov and industry landscape
Importance of design
Panelists:
Kevin Stolarick – Strategic Director, DIAC
Udo Schliemann – Principal Creative Director, Entro Communications
*Our graphic designer Doreen Colonello is unable to join us, but we are pleased that Kiran Chhiba from our Board of Directors will be joining in her stead.
