  • IDAS Annual Fall Tradeshow

    September 19th, 2019 from 9:30AM to 7:30PM
    Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon Hotel, Saskatoon

    The IDAS Fall Trade Show and CEU day are coming up! Register Here for the full day! 

    The main focus of the trade show is to showcase the latest products and services for commercial and residential suppliers to the Saskatchewan Interior Design community. Without the support of the industry suppliers and manufacturers reps we would not be able to put these events on. This is an excellent opportunity to bring together the design community in an informal, social atmosphere.

     

    The CEU day will offer:

    - 3 IDCEC approved credits: 

    - 1 CEU on wellness and design (WELL Building Standard) 

    - 1 CEU on textiles

    - 1 CEU on technology/offices of the future

    - 1 (non-IDCEC) CEU credit when you attend the trade show. No registration required!

     

    We look forward to seeing you there!

    Build Better For Education

    Course description:This course explores how manufactured interior construction solutions speak directly to the challenges designers face in developing and operating K-12 and higher education facilities. The advantages of faster project delivery; cost and time savings; quality control; and the ability to anticipate and address health, safety and welfare concerns all strengthen designers’ ability to create engaging, fl exible spaces that extend and strengthen the lifecycle of an academic building.
