New: Mission Days

DDW Mission Days, new this year, aim to facilitate relevant encounters between designers and professional visitors. From Monday, 21 October, to Friday, 25 October, DDW and partners will host five themed days around missions related to shaping a better society and healthier planet.

Both DDW’s design and expert community will share insights, expertise, and networks during these Mission Days through various workshops, conferences, tours, and events. Each day, there is a broad programme with morning sessions, afternoon tours, and an evening programme called DDW at Night. Interested professionals can curate their own Mission Day based on their preferences and schedule.
