Included By Design: Exploring Participatory and Co-Design Methods

Industry Insights is a university student talks series encouraging knowledge sharing and networking. During this event participants will explore how value is increased by including end-users through co-design methods.

What to expect

This event will explore how value is increased by including end-users through co-design methods, a theme inspired by this year’s Beazley Design of the Year exhibition. There will be interactive talks from a range of practitioners working with different participatory techniques in diverse industrial contexts. The challenges and pitfalls as well as the benefits will be discussed to empower event participants to consider how they can involve users in developing and testing their design ideas.

Now in its 11th year, the Beazley Designer of the Year exhibition brings together over 60 global projects across six categories: Architecture, Digital, Fashion, Graphics, Product and Transport, each project has been recognised for its outstanding contribution to design.

Ticket holders will be able to see the Beazley Designs of the Year exhibition prior to the event from noon.
