Design is now recognized as a decisive advantage in countless industries and a boon to innovation in all fields. But what is design, really? Is it a process or a practice? A product or a platform? And, if arguably, it defies such easy classification, then who wants and needs it, produces and consumes it?

In an intimate conversation on July 13, we focused on the human
characteristics that both influence and are impacted by design and which frame, among other things, our perceptions of loyalty, credibility, even leadership. Can design convey false authority? Do the things we make result in unintended consequences? How can we reconcile need against greed, personal voice against public choice? We hope you will join us.

This month, we're disrupting our normal format and hosting this talk as an intimate conversation with selected attendees from the design community. This model requires only one thing, and that is being willing to listen: not to the biggest person with the loudest voice, the deepest pockets, or the strongest opinion — but to ourselves, and to each other.
