SEGD Chicago Chapter | The Spaces In Between: Celebrating Chicago Design

Cheers to Chicago Design.

The theme for International Design Day 2026 is The Spaces In Between.

If you know Chicago, you already get it. We’ve always been the city in between, the Second City, the Third Coast… and we’ve made that into something worth celebrating.

This is a celebration of Chicago designers. A night to get in a room with the people who design this city and talk about what making work here actually feels like. How the location gets into the work. How the work gets into the city. And at least one debate on hotdog toppings.

Tree House. April 29. Come celebrate Chicago on International Design Day with us.

Must be 21+. Membership not required; ticket required. Cash bar and food options available.
