DesignThinkers Conference
As Canada's largest conference for the communication design industry, DesignThinkers brings together visionaries from a range of disciplines to explore creativity, the design process and the future of design and design thinking. In 2024, DesignThinkers takes place in-person in Vancouver (May 28-29) and in Toronto (November 7-8). The theme for DesignThinkers in 2023 is "Into the Rabbit Hole": Just as navigating the creative process requires being open-minded and trusting the unknown, The Rabbit Hole becomes a threshold into DesignThinkers—a creative setting that beckons designers to explore, experiment and experience without knowing what the result will be. But as proven year after year, it is always fruitful, always enlightening, always inspiring.
