Call for Bids to Host ICED29
Deadline for Applications: Sunday, 18 January 2026
Are you interested in hosting a future ICED conference?
The next Call for Bids is to host ICED29 (2029), the 27th International Conference on Engineering Design. The Board of Management is accepting bids until Sunday, 18 January 2026.
Bids will be assessed by the Board of Management, in consultation with the Advisory Board, at the Annual Meeting of the Design Society in March 2026 (Rigi 2026). The outcome of the bidding process and the host of ICED29 will be announced at ICED27 in Hamburg, Germany. A new call will then open to host ICED31 (2031).
Previously, ICED locations have tended to alternate between Europe and the rest of the world, but this is not a requirement. The Board of Management welcomes bids from any country for each event. The hosting team is responsible for organising the conference in partnership with the Design Society, following a well-established task-sharing scheme.
If you are interested in hosting ICED29, please consult the ICED Information for Bidders document provided. You can also find more information on hosting ICED and other DS events here.
Please send any questions to admin@designsociety.org.
