In the spirit of this year's theme, the conference will be a cooperative effort between IDSA and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and will culminate in a summary conference publication - a first for any IDSA conference. Published shortly after the event and sent at a discounted rate to all attendees, the conference book will include submissions by all presenters as well as additional commentary and critiques by selected attendees. We anticipate that this will become the first in a series of publications for the IDSA Midwest chapter.

This will be a truly unique object that will record the conference and capture the experience and wisdom of our speakers. Each chapter will be individually designed in direct response to the content by award winning designers:

Karim Rashid (Karim Rashid Inc.)
Cat Chow (Cat Chow Fashion Design)
Daniel Formosa (Smart Design)
Martin Gierke (Caterpillar)
Tucker Viemeister (Springtime USA)
Larry Bell (Space Architecture/ SICSA, UH)

Jim Wicks (Motorola)
Bruce Nussbaum (Business Week)
Donald Palac (NASA)
Bryce Rutter (Metaphase)
Herb Velazquez (Kimberly Clark)
