SEGD New York Chapter | Sound Design and the Built Environment

In celebration of International Design Day 2026, the SEGD New York Chapter invites you to explore this year’s theme: The Spaces In Between.

Design connects us. It mediates the physical, digital, and emotional spaces where human connection is possible. It challenges us to facilitate genuine connection, not just efficiency, but the quality of human interaction. Design isn’t just what we make. It’s what happens between us.

Join us for an evening hosted by ANTFOOD where we will explore the ways that sound influences the built environment and connects us through shared experiences. Hear about why sound matters to people, why sound matters to our clients, and why this matters right now.
