Chicago Design Week
From cultural institutions to design firms and brands, Chicago Design Week is open source and open-door — you are invited to connect, create, and promote with us.
Design has been celebrated in Chicago since the city’s inception. Now, Chicago Design Week is our chance to focus the world’s attention on the diversity of the city’s design community by creating a directory of events focused on design in all its forms. Help bring Chicago design to a global stage this June!

Download the asset packages below to promote your participation in Chicago Design Week via social media, newsletters, posters — however you get the word out about your CDW events.
Grassroots
What’s more fun than watching something grow? We’re using the collective power of the design community to make Chicago Design Week a success.
Starting with convening design organizations and creating a platform for all events, we’re fostering a dynamic nexus for all things design and Chicago.
Opportunity
The timing of Chicago Design Week coincides with two annual design shows, NeoCon and Fulton Market Design Days, which draw thousands of designers and the international design industry to Chicago.
If you have a design-related event happening the week of June 7, 2026, this could be your chance to expand your audience and find new partnerships.
