At the 2020 MITX DesignTech Summit: Designing for the Future, design experts from leading brands and organizations dive into the ways in which they’re innovating for a post-pandemic rebound, and designing for the world of tomorrow.

Join us at the 2020 MITX DesignTech Summit: Designing for the Future, as design experts from leading brands and organizations dive into the ways in which they’re innovating for a post-pandemic rebound, and designing for the world of tomorrow. 

During the last several weeks, we’ve witnessed companies redesign their processes to manufacture PPE and support efforts to put products and services where they are needed most. Additionally, an emerging frontier of ideas and companies has sprung from the realization that human needs, and the lives we lead, will shift substantially in our “new normal.”  

As the dynamics of our work, communities, and everyday lives continue to change, designers in every sector are embracing ingenuity to guide people and businesses now and prepare for a changed world. How will organizations design for the adjustments in daily life that will endure for the foreseeable future? How will they ensure their companies can pivot their offerings to remain successful? 

Don’t miss this conversation – register today and join us virtually on June 17, 2-5PM! 

Registration is free for MITX, BIMA, and Greater Boston Chamber members.
