On the 7nd of September IDEa organizes their second Alumniday, an afternoon program about the ID Eindhoven designer, where you can say hello to all your fellow ID Alumni.
This year the Industrial Design Eindhoven alumni association organizes the event at a special location: Strijp-S. Trudo and Incubator Strijp-S made it possible for us to host our event in the characteristic Klokgebouw and will shortly introduce their vision and plans for young creatives in the Eindhoven region.
You are free to walk in at any time, just make sure you subscribe on time & join in for the dinner of course!
Workshops – 3-5PM
For alumni there are two workshops starting from 3PM in the afternoon: sketching by alumnus Bart Hengeveld and 3D-modeling and printing by alumnus Peter Hermans.
