Engaging design

Design Engaged 2004
Amsterdam, Netherlands
November 12-14, 2004

Design Engaged will be a chance for designers to gather to discuss current challenges and opportunities. What do new technologies like pervasive computing offer designers? What obstacles do you find in coming up with innovative ideas, and how do you collaborate with others to make those ideas happen? What do fields like architecture or software development have to offer design, and vice versa?

Design Engaged will bring together artists, designers, academics, technologists, and writers. Some have worked together before, some have not. Some are theorists, some are practitioners. Participants have a chance to make new connections and build on old ones.

With so many friends participating in such a fun city, it makes me extra sad I can't afford to go! But I'm counting on them to keep us informed...
