The 2009 U.S. National Design Policy Summit is the second annual meeting of leaders from the U.S. design communities, which includes the heads of the professional design associations, the design education and accreditation bodies, and Federal designers.

The 2009 Summit will focus on the development of the 2010 strategic priorities for the U.S. National Design Policy Initiative, the consolidation of members of an “American Design Council,” and the engagement of the wider design community.
