ID Awards
For 20 years, FAB has celebrated fresh, artistic, and brilliant interior design. We invite you to elevate this platform with us at our 21st annual gathering, now known as the ID Awards, to further honor our local design community and recognize the talent within our peer group.
Join us for the rescheduled 2025 ID Awards to celebrate the amazing work of our local design community. We look forward to bringing the design community together for a morning of inspirational design, to celebrate local projects, and for design motivation. Breakfast and coffee will be served, and this year will feature a keynote speaker.
Our jury of industry experts from across the country will grant awards in this year’s project categories, enabling us all to continue learning and redefining what design can achieve. We look forward to your participation! Stay tuned for more information as details are released!

The future of commercial design is already unfolding — not in the obvious trends of today, but in the subtle signals that hint at tomorrow. In this fast-paced keynote, futurist AJ Paron shares the emerging shifts that will redefine how we design for work, wellness, and experience. Learn how to spot the signals before they become movements and how forward-thinking designers can translate them into opportunity.
