We have listened closely to the design community and crafted four powerful themes for this year's conference. These themes emerged from deep conversations about the future of design, shaped in collaboration with the Design Matters Board, which consists of six talented designers and former speakers. This year's themes are: Steps Forward, Design Rehab, Equipping New Craft, and Design in Democracy
Design Matters is an ally for diversity, equity, and inclusion, involving designers regardless of their ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender, or disability.
