Design Shift

AGDA’s Design Means Business event series presents Design Shift, Wed 28th Feb in Melbourne.

Under the influence of advancements in technology, heightened cultural turbulence, a revolution in media and a seismic recasting of business and commerce, design and the design industry is staring down the barrel of some monumental change.

What threats and opportunities do these changes represent – today, tomorrow and over the next 30 years?

What role can human creativity and thought play in a world surely destined to be dominated by artificial intelligence?

The first installment of its hugely popular Design Means Business event series, Design Shift will see four industry professionals working in the vanguard of design, strategy, media and technology, share their view on the future of the design industry.

With dedicated time for an in-depth Q and A session, this is a chance to join in a stimulating discussion about the impacts facing today’s design industry and how we can gear up for the shift that awaits us.
