Dear Colleagues,
The first ICED conference was held in Rome in 1981. Now, after 34 years, iced is returning to Italy! We are very pleased to invite colleagues and friends working in the field of design research, education and practice to Milan for the 20th edition of this leading conference held by the Design Society.
Milan is a thriving city in the heart of the active and technological regions of northern Italy. It is also a city of fashion and lifestyle, from which you can easily and quickly reach many interesting attractions throughout the country.
In 2015, Milan will also host the universal expo, and for the first time two events will be held at the same time and in the same city. Therefore, we hope that many people will take the opportunity to participate in both events, sharing their achievements in the field of design, on the one hand, and getting acquainted with the latest technologies and trends at Expo 2015, on the other hand.
The exhibition also inspired the theme of iced 15: Design for Life - a healthy, sustainable, contented life - for humanity.
We are waiting for you in Milan, for ICED 15!
