Taking into consideration the expected impact of COVID-19, DDW has spent the past couple of months developing a virtual festival experience. Initially parallel to the live DDW, but now this will become the international main stage. Paulen: “Of course this cannot replace the live week, but we are going to scale up the virtual programme to support the design field as much as possible in creating relevant connections.” In the coming days, we will determine in more detail how to shape this in close consultation with the design community and our partners. Creating these connections will also be an important objective for the rest of this year and the period thereafter.
