Design in the Hills is unique in the design world; although there are sponsors and continuing education credits, very little of the education is provided in a traditional classroom setting. The conference is interactive and mobile, and because of this, Design in the Hills attendance is limited and open only to design professionals.
The sponsorship fee includes registration for up to two company employees and/or subcontractors. Sponsors are recognized at the event program, the online program, verbally at the event, with signage at the event. Each sponsor has the option of tabling at the Sponsor Expo and Happy Hour event.

Design in the Hills is unique in the design world; although there are sponsors and continuing education credits, very little of it is provided in a traditional classroom setting. The conference is interactive and mobile. Design in the Hills is a unique gathering of architects, landscape architects, interior designers, engineers and artists from across the state, along with members of the community who all connect to celebrate and elevate the standard of design.
Each year, AIA South Dakota focuses on projects and places of interest in the Black Hills communities.
