About
The IIDA Leaders
Breakfast is an annual international event series that celebrates design's importance
in the global marketplace by honoring the people who are both the legacy and
future of design. The Breakfast cultivates connections between noteworthy
industry leaders and the local design community while it celebrates design
innovation. Each chosen host city organizes a breakfast that features a
renowned keynote speaker to provoke and encourage new ideas, and recognizes one
city-selected honoree who has made significant contributions to the design
industry. Honorees receive the coveted Leadership of Excellence Award and a
special edition Charles and Ray Eames stool awarded by Herman Miller.
Currently, Leaders Breakfast has grown to include eight host cities across the
United States and Canada, welcoming up to 600 attendees at each location.
History: Design, Leadership, Community
Launched in New York
in 1989 by Jeannie Bochette of Steelcase, the IIDA Leaders Breakfast series
began as a single event. The goal of the event was to introduce IIDA to the
business world as a leading association of Commercial Interior Design and to
inform IIDA Members about major economic issues affecting them and their
clients. The event established a forum where IIDA Members and their clients
could participate and network with peers. In 2007, with the help of the
Interior Designers of Canada (IDC), Leaders Breakfast expanded internationally
to Canada.
