IDI is delighted to launch #WhyDesign, an Institute of Designers Ireland initiative to address the gender imbalance in the Irish Creative sector which currently stands 25:75.

The first industry-focused event is our launch night, March 8th, 2018 International Women’s Day. We are hosting Oscar-winning Annie Atkins an & Emmy Award Winning Chris Do at the fabulous surrounds of Iconic Offices just off Stephens Green. Our internationally acclaimed speakers will give their take on the issue at this must-attend event. To top it off,  we are thrilled to welcome the brilliantly funny Aoife Dooley, illustrator, and comedian who will be the MC of the evening. We aim to challenge and inspire the creative community to make a positive change to the equation.

With sincere thanks to our valued partners  – Deloitte Digital, Bank of Ireland, Glasseye, and our venue partner Iconic Offices. Drinks kindly supplied by Absolut Vodka.
