ALL CONFERENCE OFFERINGS
Education & Sourcing
Continuing Education: Design professionals, we are still in the midst of planning the conference, but we anticipate that you you can earn up to 8 hours of CEUs over two days:
- We also anticipate that all CEUs contain HSW content, thereby qualifying as CEPHs for continuing education requirements set forth by TBAE [Texas Board of Architectural Examiners] for Registered Interior Designers and Registered Architects.
- All courses will be approved by IDCEC [International Design Continuing Education Council], which means they will all be approved by ASID [American Society of Interior Designers], IDC [Interior Designers of Canada], and IIDA [International Interior Design Association].
- Many courses will be approved by AIA [American Institute of Architects].

Opening Night Party: On Wednesday at 5:00 PM we'll get our annual conference party started. Whether you’re in from out of town or live in the Metroplex, we’d love for you to stop by to meet a few new people and see some familiar faces before everything gets rolling on Thursday morning.
Networking Happy Hour: On Thursday starting at 5:00 PM after a productive day of learning and sourcing, we'll enjoy some delicious sips and bites, plus some valuable door prizes, all while we take part in a fun networking game, allowing us to meet some new peers and maybe just learn a few new things about people we already know! Mix-n-mingle, meet new friends and collaborators, catch up with longtime friends, and have some fun!
Awards Gala: On Friday evening, join us at a TBA location in Dallas to celebrate the deserving recipients of the Texas Chapter Member Awards for volunteerism and the talented winners of the Celebrating Design Texas Awards.
