Building Bridges… One World, Many Voices

In 2025, we are going to address the generational gap we face both in the workplace and with our communities. We are committed to actively listening and fostering open dialogue to create common ground and mutual understanding. By valuing each perspective and recognizing what is meaningful to everyone, we aim to build stronger, more inclusive relationships and environments.

Let’s build bridges and create one world with many voices at New Year, New You 2025.

New Year, New You


It has been a passion for the IIDA South Florida Chapter to be an advocate for our interior design industry and the professional development of its members.

We recognize that our industry is unique. We know that you require knowledge beyond academics to succeed in life. This is why we created New Year, New You: a professional and - most importantly - personal development event to kick off the new year to support our members’ development goals and aspirations.

Let’s begin connecting with an array of delicious brunch-style snacks and refreshments and get your professional headshots to lead your 2025 look. Dive deep with professional and personal panel discussions. Finish the day by networking and mingling at our happy hour. 

Our hope is that you will leave the event feeling advanced and inspired both personally and professionally and that you are encouraged by our speakers’ holistic insights to achieve the best version of yourself!
