Global Design Forum

The programme for 2022 includes some of the most challenging and exciting topics that designers currently face from regenerative futures; new possibilities in digital design; identity and inclusivity; design to shape behaviour; connecting communities; participation in design and design for crisis and recovery.

Speakers from all corners of the global design community will share new perspectives on how design can be more accessible, inclusive, sustainable and at the forefront of change.

Attend as much of the programme as you would like; days are organised by theme and sessions can be booked onto individually.
