Knowledge of Design Week 2019: Designing Digital Futures

[Sponsored Article]

Organised by Hong Kong Design Centre, KODW is a global event that offers business strategists, designers, decision makers, educators and entrepreneurs a platform for knowledge exchange and networking with some of the world’s top innovators. This year’s event–“KODW 2019: Designing Digital Futures”– will feature a rich programme that explores how design can make digital technology accessible, tangible, relevant and meaningful for all, while charting our paths to the unknown future.

The week-long KODW will comprise three forums on Digital Futures, a series of design and design thinking workshops, a roundtable on Public Service Innovation organised in collaboration with Efficiency Office of the Innovation and Technology Bureau, as well as an InnoDesign Leadership CEO Forum.

The three half-day forums will attempt to answer some of the most pressing questions on technology: Where does the future hold for the digital transformation? What new futures are made possible by emerging technologies? And, as the world embraces the digital age, where are the new opportunities and unprecedented challenges for humanity? They will also shed light on the role design plays in making sense of the incredibly digitally-driven world and bridging the gap between technology and people.

KODW attendees are also encouraged to participate in workshops that will allow for ideas to flow and more personal discussions. These workshops will centre on three themes: Design Thinking & Future Mindset; Collaborate and Co-design; and Unleashing Creativity.
