[forum] Awards Winners & Design Leaders
Design affords both cultural and economic benefits to our community. This forum isn’t just about how the design creative process occurred but how the project was commissioned, project managed and the exploration of the business model behind and strategy of the project.

Hear first hand the candid interviews with award winning projects and design leaders as we explore the themes of: Design Courage, Made for People, Design Economy and Future & Now.

Guided by renowned presenter, Fenella Kernebone, you’ll hear firsthand the the stories behind award winning projects together with insights from leading industry experts.

If you want to learn more about the latest design thinking and projects, be challenged and inspired, then this is a not to be missed event. We extend an open invitation to the design100 community to connect and prepare to be engaged and reenergised as we hear from those who are leading the way in accelerating transformation by design.

Our forum projects are a curated selection from the latest award winning nominations representing brands, studios and start-ups.

The forum will conclude with the New York Design Awards Presentation.
