Theme
Around the world, a mass movement of design researchers and practitioners are using their capabilities to enable innovation in complex systems and organizations across public and private sectors alike. ’Next Wave’ will address the new design knowledge being created, the new forms of practice emerging, and how research and practice can stimulate and learn from each other.
Structure
Each day of this two day conference will open with a keynote presentation by noted academic and industry leaders, followed by multiple sessions running along concurrent tracks – multiple Academic Paper tracks and 1 practitioner-oriented R+B (Research + Business) track. The final afternoon will feature a dmi:FuturED Workshop to debate and discuss global design education and the skills designers that need to acquire to ensure success.
Academic Paper and R+B (Research + Business) Tracks and Topics
DMI has long been a global advocate for the collaboration between researchers and practitioners in design and design management. This ADMC continues that tradition, focusing on current partnerships and paving the way for future collaborations between domains. We are actively seeking submissions on the following tracks and topics:
