Design Forward

Planning, Production

Design Forward Summit was created by UCSD Design Lab and debuted in 2016 with the goal of raising awareness about the role design can play in shaping the future of San Diego. In its second year, the 2017 summit sought to not only ignite conversation and action around how design can improve the way we live, work and play, but to provide designers and decision makers with the tools to affect real and lasting change in the region. It featured an action packed lineup of keynotes, panels, small group discussions and hands-on workshops in addition to creative design installations, a live muralist, the Herman Miller lounge and live bands and DJs throughout the day.
