What will be the role of design and designers in the face of rapidly advancing technologies, a planet that is at the point of “global boiling”, and a future in which the global life expectancy is increasing? The Design Futures Forum returns with an expanded two-day programme this year, examining the critical role of design in creating a better future in the areas of emerging technology, sustainability, and care.
Keynote speaker and “godmother of the spatial web” Cathy Hackl (CEO, Spatial Dynamics) will join segment curators and programme partners to usher in insights from fellow thought leaders on design’s critical role in areas of emerging technology, sustainability, and care.
Featuring thought leaders and practitioners from Singapore and around the world, the forum will explore how people – from an individual scale to a larger, societal one – and design intersect to make a positive impact and create a better future for all beings. With a mix of thought-provoking presentations, engaging panel discussions and interactive hands-on sessions, participants can expect to be informed, intrigued and inspired to enact change in their own spheres of influence after.
