IIDA NY's premier networking and social awareness event of the fall.

Color Invasion® 2019, an annual theme party benefiting IIDA NY Student Activities, celebrates our unique design community with food, libations, and entertainment, in the most creatively designed experience. Join in the celebration by dressing creatively and accordingly.

Once again, we will be supporting the Pajama Program. We will have a dropbox for new, unwrapped pajamas and books for children from infants to age 18. Please bring your gift and help us support this worthy organization. No time to shop? Make a tax-deductable donation to the Pajama Program: DONATE

Bring 2 or more pajamas and/or books for VIP access to our unique experience back room!

Meet and network with local NY commercial design professionals. Find out what they are looking for in an applicant's portfolio, and what characteristics they seek in a prospective hire.

Afterwards attendees can spend time in small groups with presenters. Students can bring their work or portfolio for the speakers to critique.
