For the first time this year, the Korea Institute of Design Promotion (KIDP)’s Design Korea and the Seoul Design Festival have jointly organized an international conference under the theme “Survival and Evolution.” A total of seven speakers will take the stage in line with this theme.

The conference will take place on November 13, from 10:00 to 17:00, at COEX, 4F, Room 401 (Grand Conference Room).

It will be divided into two main sessions — Part 1: “Evolution: From Emergence to Evolution, The Direction of Design-Led Innovation” and Part 2: “Survival: Survival Strategies and the Role of Design in a New Order.” Global leaders in AI and emerging platforms will speak the language of ’evolution‘, while visionary designers and architects will share the wisdom of ’survival‘. This conference stands as a powerful testament to how design is preparing for tomorrow —and shaping a creative future that both endures and transforms.
