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:Spotlight Series: Voices of Design
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for an extraordinary summer of design inspiration. We’re thrilled to announce not one\, but TWO exceptional Spotlight Series events continuing the regional design conversation sparked by the landmark designation of World Design Capital 2024. \nThe Spotlight Series\, a collection of 18 regional design stories that was developed in 2024\, highlights visionary designers and boundary-pushing creatives. \nGiven these current times of deep division\, the Spotlight Series is an example of how deeply integrated we are in our cross-border region\, and a reminder of how we must continue to celebrate that which connects us. \nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spotlight-series-tickets-1422312688539 \nWDO Member: WDC San Diego Tijuana 2024

SUMMARY:2024 DNDA Summit
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the annual DNDA Summit is to provide a vehicle for practitioners and educators from across the world to learn from one another\, sharing lessons learned from their work – from successes\, hurdles faced\, and failures. The primary objective is to stimulate\, and demonstrate the benefits of humanity-centered design\, showcasing the accomplishments of early career professionals and provide encouragement and support when they need it most: at the start of their career. \nThe summit and awards program will be an annual event. The first year\, the event will be held on November 14-15 in San Diego. Why November 2024? Why San Diego\, California? The “World Design Capital” is a designation awarded every two years by the World Design Organization (headquartered in Quebec\, Canada). The San Diego\, California\, USA-Tjuana\, Baja California\, Mexico region is the world design capital for 2024: WDC 2024. \nHumanity-centered design is one of the themes of WDC 2024 which makes it appropriate to be the location for the first awards and summit of the DNDA program. \nThe DNDA Summit has two major components: The Formal Summit for 1 ½ days\, starting Thursday\, November 14 and the informal “Unconference” on the afternoon of Friday\, November 15.
