IDA Encounters Design Exhibition
The IDA Encounters is the premier event for showcasing the latest products and services to the Alberta Interior Design community. Each year, hundreds of designers, architects, students, and design enthusiasts attend the event, with 70% - 75% being professional designers and 10% - 15% students. IDA Encounters represents a valuable opportunity to network with industry professionals and establish stronger client-vendor relationships.
This year, we are excited to be hosting in both Edmonton and Calgary with various exhibition opportunities available to fit your needs and help ensure ROI. If interested in exhibiting in both Edmonton and Calgary, a 20% discount will be available for your booking – allowing you to show support for the design community, network with potential customers, build meaningful relationships, and enhance your brand's visibility over two days of meaningful exhibition showcase.
