Who should attend Industry day?
● Practitioners who are working with participatory methods or are interested in introducing such approaches to their workplaces
● Researchers, practitioners, designers and managers responsible for developing innovative co-design of applications, products and services
● Those dealing with complex stakeholder collaboration and/or community and constituent participatory involvement
● Anyone grappling with the complexities of participation or experimenting with novel approaches of collaboration.
Industry Day is an integral part of the Participatory Design Conference program, bringing together academics developing participatory approaches and design practitioners who have everyday experiences of multi-stakeholder design and development projects. Through this collaboration we are able to further strengthen international dialogue and learning around new research, methods and innovative practices of participation.
