We are inspired by our collective ability to shape and build a better world.
Purpose
We are a community of practitioners who are interested in highlighting the role and importance of Service Design.
- Beyond teaching and learning, we are interested in creating transformative experiences so that people feel activated and inspired to affect change.
- More than networking, we connect people in meaningful ways to build lasting bonds and a spark a sense of community.
- We encourage, invite and welcome different perspectives so that we can share, learn and respectfully challenge each other.
- And last but not least, we know how to have fun!
We champion non-traditional applications of Service Design that are having a real impact.
- Hong Kong is a global hub for innovative ideas and practices, we celebrate what is unique and different in this part of the world.
- We deliberately design valuable experiences for participants, speakers, sponsors and partners.
- Our MC’s are story-weavers who tap into the narratives and trends that participants would like to explore.
