Core77: How did you get involved with IDSA NE?
Marco Perry: Ever since I founded Pensa in Brooklyn, I have been looking at ways I could get more involved in the design community—not only to network but to learn from others and to give back what I can. I have found that attending and speaking at regional conferences was a real easy way to get great information, meet interesting people and have a lot fun. After a few years of going to conferences, I was approached by the IDSA to become a board member and run the Northeast conferences, which I have been doing for 2 years now. I find it to be a really rewarding and a tremendous opportunity to get the NE community together.
This year’s theme seems focused on design for doing good—healthy planet, community, social good, business growth. Why is 2011 the year for “Design 4”?
