SUMMARY:Design@Large: Design to Action – Building Innovation and Impact
DESCRIPTION:Design@Large: Design to Action is a six-part public series from the UC San Diego Design Lab exploring how design moves ideas into real-world impact. Through conversations and hands-on sessions\, the series examines how teams set direction\, build momentum\, and sustain meaningful work across sectors. Each session highlights the practical decisions\, relationships\, and practices that help innovation take root and endure. \n\nAcross six Wednesdays\, we will explore how design shows up in real contexts. How early ideas find direction. How momentum is built with partners and communities. And how meaningful work becomes embedded in systems that endure. \nDesign@Large brings together students\, researchers\, civic partners\, business leaders\, and community practitioners to look closely at the real work behind innovation. Not just the outcomes\, but the decisions\, relationships\, and practices that make impact possible. \n\n\nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/designlarge-design-to-action-tickets-1825948112959\n\n\nWDO Member: The DesignLab\, UC San Diego

SUMMARY:10th International Alvar Aalto Design Seminar – Checkpoint
DESCRIPTION:The 10th International Alvar Aalto Design Seminar – Checkpoint will be held on Tuesday\, June 10\, 2025\, in Jyväskylä. 30 years ago\, at the first design seminar in 1995\, the focus was on design quality and craftsmanship\, and the user interfaces of the time were Windows95 and Nokia’s early mobile phones. \nToday\, in 2025\, it is the use of AI in design that gets people talking\, while authenticity\, humanity and craftsmanship are emerging as counterforces. On this occasion we will also pay homage to renewable heritage and tradition: this year marks 90 years since the founding of Artek\, and 13 Aalto buildings have been nominated for inscription in 2026 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We look with optimism towards a diverse future of sustainable development in design.

SUMMARY:Free Keynote: The Future of Industrial Design Innovation
DESCRIPTION:The world has no shortage of complex problems that must be addressed. The design industry needs a radical new design approach that goes far beyond the original design thinking methodology. It needs a sustainable\, purpose-driven design culture rather than relying on a theatrical and ad-hoc design process that involves cozy design meetings with sticky notes and fun design tools. Tech companies and design firms need a purpose-driven design culture that prioritizes profitability and aims to positively impact society. \nPrior registration required via tpsi@live.com | Phone/WhatsApp: +13053992116  \n
