Design has never been more important. It’s responsible for shaping the built environment, the digital world and the products and services we use everyday. Design creates better places, better products and better processes. And companies are fast realising that good design is a competitive advantage.
To better understand what we should expect in the years ahead, we’ve assembled an expert group of RMIT researchers, academics and industry professionals working at the intersection of design and technology. From augmented reality and cloud-based software, to smart textiles and “bio fashion”, join us as we uncover the design trends of tomorrow.
This will be a live, interactive webinar with Q&A available so you can also ask any questions you might have.
All attendees must register for this event. Once you register, a link will be sent to gain access to the stream closer to the event date.
