Aspen Design Conference

The More Things Change" is the theme of the 51st-annual International Design Conference in Aspen (IDCA), which started Wednesday and runs through Saturday.

"The Conference is dedicated to examining the designed environment in the context of the arts, sciences and humanities, and to investigating broad issues, ideas, and recent accomplishments related to design," conference literature said.

The event is held every June in Aspen, bringing together leaders in design from various areas and is considered "the most vital and authoritative event of its kind."

The International Design Conference in Aspen began in 1951. Founded by many of America's rising stars on the graphic design scene, the IDCA sought to provide a forum for discussion on design. Aspen, Colorado had been the site of every convention since its inception. During the early years, the discussion was relatively introspective but as the conference grew, the dialogue became structured around specific topics, including speakers on other cultures
