Design: Accel­er­ating Trans­for­ma­tion. Hybrid Confer­ence – 15. Oktober 2020, Swiss Design Asso­ci­a­tion

Design accel­er­ates trans­for­ma­tion. On 15 October 2020, design experts and prac­ti­tioners from Switzer­land and abroad will discuss how design can support govern­ments in designing effi­cient and human-centered public poli­cies, how the value of design can be increased and artic­u­lated at the strategic level, and how the impact of design can be measured. Learn more about the crucial role design can play in times like these, when change is happening all around us. Join us via livestream for the whole after­noon or choose one specific session.

The “Design: Accel­er­ating Trans­for­ma­tion” summit will broaden the under­standing of the oppor­tu­ni­ties design offers society in the face of rapid change, deepen the knowl­edge of the value created by designers and will engage key stake­holders in the conver­sa­tion about the value of having designers as full parts of their boards. The hybrid event will be broad­casted live from the audi­to­rium of the School of Design Bern, Switzer­land. The event is held in english.
