METROCON is a ground-breaking collaboration: a regional expo and conference organized through an innovative volunteer alliance between the Texas / Oklahoma Chapter of IIDA [International Interior Design Association], the Dallas / Fort Worth Chapter of IFMA [International Facility Management Association], and the Texas Chapter of ASID [American Society of Interior Designers]. In a concentrated effort to strengthen the design and facility management communities, the three organizations have joined forces and pooled resources to offer the best in exhibitors, continuing education, and speakers.
This premier two-day event focuses on introducing the latest in products and innovative ideas to the Southwest region’s community of interior designers, facility managers, architects, design students and other industry members. Any income from the event goes back to the chapters to fund special educational and recognition programs, as well as scholarships and charities earmarked by the individual organizations.
