Sydney BETTER FUTURE explores the strategy, excellence and courage needed to drive innovation through design

The summit features Sydney's leading design voices discussing the current state of the design market, sharing their insights and forecasting possible futures.

Following the Sydney Design Awards, the summit focuses on the strategies and learnings from the city's premier design projects

The summit highlights the radical and systemic change needed to take advantage of opportunities across the design economy. 

"Take part in the conversation leading the future of design and innovation in Sydney."

The world has changed and design has moved out of the design department and into the boardroom. Now design is at the heart of organisations' strategy and culture and it's influence flows through products and services to customer experiences – this is Enterprise Wide Design.

Tech Disrupts – Design Integrates. Are you BETTER FUTURE?

“The problem isn't how to make the world more technological. It's about how to make the world more humane again.”
John Maeda
