Detailed Description

This document presents a concise overview of the learning and recommendations from Design and Degree Show 2014. It is meant to act as a broad guide for future Design and Degree Shows to be organised by IDC. It is assumed that the current trend of organising a degree show exhibition combined with a conference will be continued, however the format of the same has not been commented upon in order to maintain a guideline that is applicable broadly. It’s recommendations and guidelines are drawn from my pesonal experiences as one of the Overall Coordinators of Design and Degree Show 2014. The report presents an overview of the all the teams involved in organising the Design and Degree Show at IDC and their essential functions, along with suggesting prudent ways to plan and execute schedules. The main recommendations are that the show should be combined and organised as the flagship show of IDC and held annually. The document also recommends that students start planning the event and contacting speakers and sponsors around mid-September. The event should also be held only in VMCC, IIT Bombay and the Nehru Centre phase should be scrappedfor future shows due to logistical troubles and increased participation of public and industry at the IIT Bombay event in recent years.
