2026 Culinary Challenge

The 18th Annual IIDA Silicon Valley Culinary Challenge benefitting Interim Inc of Monterey was nothing short of incredible.

Design firms from across the Bay Area brought their creativity and their culinary skills to life around this year's theme: Rooted in Community. The booths all over One Workplace in Santa Clara were stunning, the food was even better, and the energy in the room was a reminder of why this industry shows up so hard for the people and places we serve.

Congratulations to this year's "Best of "winners:
People's Choice Gensler
Best Presentation RMW architecture & interiors
Closest to Theme Habitec
Best Taste HGA

Huge thanks to every firm that participated, every guest who came hungry (literally and figuratively), to Interim Inc for the vital work you do in the Monterey community and to IIDA Silicon Valley. Events like this are proof that design and community care go hand in hand.

See you at Culinary Challenge #19.
