Bill Moggridge, left, founder of IDEO, has got something in the works. He's planning a conference--a congress, actually--between ICSID, the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design, and IDSA, with a few other acronyms in between (ICSID is a partner of IDA, the International Design Alliance, along with Icograda, the International Council of Graphic Design Associations).

The congress will take place October 17-20, 2007 in San Francisco, and you can sign up now for the early bird registration rate.
