ACIDO was formed for the purposes of professional networking,
standards development and public relations. It is our
objective to present a true province-wide association with easy
access and simplified sharing of information and experiences.
This web site is intended to offer a virtual meeting space for
our members, and a public face for our community.

As the only formally recognized voice of the Industrial Design
profession within Ontario, ACIDO promotes visibility, value
and the service of the profession to government and the
manufacturing community. In addition, the Association
undertakes to encourage and promote the following:

- Provide regular opportunities for members in all categories
to meet, network and discuss experiences, careers and new
directions in the design profession.

- Represent the collective interests of the Association's
Members.

- Provide a meaningful professional connection between the
Association and recognized Industrial Design degree and
diploma granting institutions.

- Work cooperatively and strategically with other design
professions, various levels of government and industry.
