SUMMARY:B Corp Month: The Value of Design - Beyond Compliance to Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:Design is often misunderstood as aesthetics or branding. Yet in reality\, design is one of the most powerful levers businesses have to translate purpose into practice. \nAs part of B Corp Month 2026\, this webinar explores how design\, when treated as an operating model rather than an add‑on\, moves organisations beyond compliance and into inspiration. \nFramed around the B Corp Month theme for 2026\, this session brings together four leaders from certified B Corps who apply design across very different contexts\, from the built environment to global operations to large‑scale organisational systems. \nLearn more: https://events.humanitix.com/b-corp-month-the-value-of-design-from-compliance-to-inspiration \n

SUMMARY:Ahmedabad Design Week 7.0
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence today is an ocean of vast\, deep\, and constantly expanding knowledge. Within this ocean lie possibilities reshaping every field\, and the creative industry is no exception. \nDesign\, art\, communication\, film\, media\, and beyond\, AI is transforming the way ideas are imagined\, produced\, and experienced. But while technology offers infinite potential\, it is the human mind that gives direction\, meaning\, and purpose to it. Creativity has always been humanity’s most powerful tool\, and when it meets the intelligence of machines\, the result is not replacement but revolution. \nThrough Ahmedabad Design Week 7.0\, we aim to open conversations\, experiences\, and explorations around how AI is influencing creative space. From new tools of expression to rethinking processes of design\, we will look at the ways in which human imagination\, when paired with AI\, can chart new frontiers. \nThe theme celebrates this partnership\, where the human mind remains the compass\, and AI becomes the boundless ocean through which the next wave of creative revolutions will rise. \nLearn more: https://ahmedabaddesignweek.com/ \nWDO Member: Unitedworld Institute of Design

SUMMARY:Maison & Object 2026 - Past Reveals Future
DESCRIPTION:Design draws from its roots to rise higher. \nAt the crossroads of raw material and contemporary form\, a quiet strength emerges. Furniture is no longer just a succession of pieces: it becomes the extension of knowledge\, of craft\, of memory. What emanates from it goes beyond aesthetics: it is an aura\, a breath\, a trace of the past carried into the future. Each creation belongs to an organic continuity\, a slow\, embodied transformation. \nMaison&Objet highlights a living design: where every piece carries the imprint of a story in the making. \nLearn more: https://www.maison-objet.com/en/paris

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
