You will have the chance to hear from and meet leaders in design and innovation from a diverse range of companies such as Procter & Gamble, Nike, Toyota, Tupperware, Orange, Virgin Atlantic and Nokia. One of the speakers you will enjoy is Dan Formosa, founding member of Smart Design, whose work for OXO Good Grips helped establish the brand as an icon of Universal Design. Dan is a leading developer of research methodologies to uncover design actionable insights. His session on June 3 at 12:00 is titled Exceeding Expectations: how "personal meaning" is displacing brands and technology. Please join Dan to discuss how design is shifting its attention from consumer segments to individuals, how to satisfy unmet needs of women through design, and more around the topic of connecting with people through design.
