Design Thinking unConference Vancouver
Pauline Lai, July 08, 2011 at 12:35 AM

Design Thinking is a way to code design deeper into our society. It helps organizations of all types realize the importance of design and to work more creatively with designers on the full sweep of social and business problems where design can be applied.

The LinkedIn Design Thinking Group (more than 7,000 members) and ECUAD have partnered to bring the first Design Thinking unConference to Vancouver on August 19 & 20.

The format is a series or roundtable discussions on Friday August 19th followed by an unConference on August 20. The goal of the conference is to move forward the wider conversation on design thinking while building a community of pracitioners and at the same time to increase Vancouver's global presence as a centre of design. GDC members are encouraged to attend and to propose sessions for the unConference.
