Welcome to AIGA Community!
AIGA Community is a brand-new service available to anyone with a my.AIGA.org account.
With AIGA Community, you can:
- Start conversations within the design community
- Find answers to important industry questions
- Connect with fellow design professionals
Not sure where to start? Here are some tips to get you going.
Explore your starter communities.
Everyone with a my.AIGA.org account is automatically added to two of our communities:
If you’ve registered for one of our conferences, courses, or certificates, you’re automatically added to those event-specific communities as well.
To see all of your communities, visit My Communities.
Discover our members-only communities.
If you’re a paid AIGA member, you have access to our core set of communities:

And finally, AIGA members at the Educator level are automatically added to our Design Educators Community. Professional & Leader members can opt-in to join.

See all of your activity in one spot.
AIGA Central is your dedicated space to keep up on all of the latest updates from all the communities and threads you follow, along with quick links to popular AIGA resources.

Comment, ask, recommend, and share.
Once you’re in one of our communities, take the leap by starting a topic thread or adding your voice to a running conversation.
Every community page has four main sections: Threads, Q&A, Polls, and Library. Additionally, every community has at least one Moderator to steer the conversations and ensure that AIGA Community Guidelines are upheld.
Stay engaged to earn points and badges.
AIGA Community members have the opportunity to earn points and unlock achievement badges for all kinds of engagement, anything from uploading a profile pic to leaving a highly rated comment.
Also, every community home page has a Top Contributors section that features our most active members. Stay engaged and you just might end up at the top of the leaderboard!
If you run into any trouble in AIGA Community, or if you're still not sure where to start, open a new thread or ask a question in AIGA Help Desk.
Together, in this new virtual space, we can do amazing things for our design community. Let’s go!
Onward,
