Perspectives on change

The Design Innovation Sessions explore the major transitions we as a society are facing, and the role creative industries can play in driving them. Across five days, you will hear fresh perspectives from leading researchers and creative pioneers, discover bold projects tackling urgent challenges, and connect with others who are in design and innovation. As part of the Mission Days, this curated programme is designed for professionals who want to be inspired and exchange ideas on real change.

Transitions shaping our future

This year’s Design Innovation Sessions tackles five urgent themes shaping our future: designing liveable cities, fashion for a regenerative future, reclaiming agency in our digital lives, rethinking care, and creating just transitions. Each morning brings a mix of current big design questions, cutting-edge research, and pioneering projects that offer new insights and deliver solutions that work. Expect a morning full of inspiration and practical takeaways, all wrapped up with a delicious networking lunch.

Be there

With speakers like Roberto Rocco on spacial justice, Haiko Huvenaars on driving regenerative change in times of resistance, and Philémonne Jaasma on the importance of co-creation in societal transitions - and many, many more pioneering voices - this is a stage you want to be in front of. Follow CLICKNL for the latest programme updates and take your chance to join the Design Innovation Sessions.
