For the past few years, we have had our UNVEIL tradeshow, and this year we’ve teamed up with the EDI Committee and reimagined it to make it bigger and better. Introducing... IIDA New England’s Block Party!

The purpose of this event is to create a cultural gathering which celebrates artists, ethnic cuisines, and music, while supporting local minority-owned businesses. In tandem, giving our Chapter Sponsors and all other A+D companies in our community the opportunity to showcase products with a recommended emphasis on lines created by minority designers.

Thursday, October 13 // 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. EST

Lot D-3 at 492 Summer St. in Boston, MA

In the event of postponement due to weather, all registered attendees and vendors will be emailed and this page will be updated.
