Presenting Seven Integrated Design Leaders in Historic D7 Gathering

As a leading global integrated design firm, our teams explore interdisciplinary connections every day. For the first time in history, CEOs from seven national design associations will gather in Kansas City to do the same at the D7 Summit. The summit is hosted by the Center for Architecture & Design and KC Global Design and presented by DLR Group.

The panel will be hosted at the newly opened DLR Group-designed Cascade Hotel.

Over two days, leaders of the American Institute of Architects, American Institute of Graphic Arts, American Planning Association, American Society of Landscape Architects, Industrial Designers Society of America, International Interior Design Association, and Society for Experiential Graphic Design will build a dialogue that leads to collective action.

While our Chief Climate Officer and Chief Design Officer will lead a closed conversation with the CEOs on day one of the summit, the public is invited to join the discussion at day two’s open panel.
