Design & Emotion: Chi-town Gets Its Emo On

The Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology and the Design & Emotion Society are teaming up once again for the 7th International Conference on Design & Emotion. Held in Chicago, October 4-7,  the International Conference on Design & Emotion is a forum held every other year where practitioners, researchers and industry leaders meet and exchange knowledge and insights concerning the cross-disciplinary field of design and emotion.

Since this conference was first established in 1999, what many predicted then came to be. Technologies are now able to achieve emotional qualities and design examples using these technologies abound. We are at the stage for another leap forward in the development of new understanding and vision of emotional factors in design through our critical reflection, innovative exploration and collaborative endeavor. This conference calls for your contribution to this exciting international forum of research and practice representing academic, professional and business communities. [via Design & Emotion Society]
