Indy Design Week is powered by a community of designers, creatives, businesses, and organizations who help bring the festival to life each year.

While most participation opportunities for IDW26 are now filled, there are still a few ways to join us this year—and plenty of ways to get involved in the future. If you’re interested in participating in Indy Design Week 2027, we invite you to join our Participant Interest List to be the first to hear about future opportunities.

Onsite volunteers are the heartbeat of Indy Design Week—helping bring each event to life and ensuring attendees have a smooth, welcoming experience. From check-in and wayfinding to light setup and general guest support, volunteers play a key role in keeping things running seamlessly while representing the spirit of IDW.
