The website for *D7: The National Design CEO Retreat* was developed to spotlight a landmark event hosted by the Center for Architecture & Design (CFaD) and KC Global Design. This two-day retreat, taking place April 24–26, 2024, in Kansas City, unites the CEOs of the top seven national design organizations to collaboratively address challenges within the design industry. The retreat’s highlight, a CEO panel event on April 25, emphasizes the unique opportunity for these influential leaders to share insights and align on solutions.
The single-page website was crafted to serve as an accessible hub for media and attendees to learn about the event’s purpose, schedule, and distinguished participants. Featuring profiles of the seven CEOs—Joel Albizo (APA), Torey Carter-Conneen (ASLA), Cheryl S. Durst (IIDA), Cybelle Jones (SEGD), Cesar Rivera (AIGA), Donté P. Shannon (IDSA), and Lakisha Ann Woods (AIA)—the design balanced informative content with a clean, modern aesthetic. By combining a dynamic layout with intuitive navigation, the site reflects the collaborative and forward-thinking mission of D7, celebrating Kansas City’s connection to all seven organizations while amplifying the voice of the national design community.
