Design in the Hills


Design in the Hills is unique in the design world: Although there are sponsors and continuing education credits, very little of the education is provided in a traditional classroom setting. The conference is interactive and mobile. Design in the Hills is a unique gathering of architects, landscape architects, interior designers, engineers and artists from across the state, along with members of the community who all connect to celebrate and elevate the standard of design.

Each year, AIA South Dakota focuses on projects and places of interest in Black Hills communities. 

Design in the Hills attendance is limited and open only to design professionals. Individuals seeking to represent their firms in a business development capacity should reach out to events@aiasouthdakota.org to get on the sponsorship wait list.
