Distribute a press release to your media network expressing your support for WIDD.
Include a WIDD component to an existing event taking place around the same date, such as a design exhibition, conference or workshop.
Engage with local, regional and national levels of government to highlight industrial design’s value for economic and social growth.
Host your own original event in honour of WIDD.
Remember that your observance of WIDD can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose to make it – it’s a chance to show the world what industrial design means to you.
Over the coming months, you will receive additional information on ways to celebrate WIDD and news on what the Icsid Secretariat is doing to mark the occasion. By taking part in any way, your organisation will have contributed to the overall advancement of industrial design through nurturing a global understanding for our discipline.
