Conference Program

The tentative schedule of events is listed below. There will be opportunities for participants to share their design-related work. These opportunities are available in three formats: presentations of research, workshops, and posters. Participants will also be able to share their work and meet others in working groups organized around common interests, as well as during break times and meals during which networking will occur.

We are also excited to announce an intriguing mix of plenary sessions cutting across different forms of design and disciplines! Our plenary speakers will be:

Salomé Martínez of Universidad de Chile, Justin Reich of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Greg Benoit of Boston University, and Beth Warren, Maria C. Olivares, & Eli Tucker-Raymond of the Earl Center for Learning and Innovation
