Knowledge of Design Week Conference

Designing Digital Futures

With ever-changing digital technology catalysing smart cities of the future, the key to creating a smart yet liveable city lies in the application of human-centred design thinking. Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) is featuring ‘Designing Digital Futures‘ as the theme of its annual Knowledge of Design Week (KODW) from 17th to 21st June this year. KODW 2019 will continue to inspire new ideas and discussion, looking into how human-centred design serves as a bridge between ‘digital technology’ and ‘humanity’ as we explore future design and urban developments.

KODW 2019 is a week-long curated programme and internationally-renowned industry experts and business leaders from around 10 cities across 4 continents will gather together in Hong Kong to explore the three cornerstones of future urban life. KODW fosters cross-disciplinary learning and exchange through 3 thematic forums, 7 interactive workshops, an InnoDesign Leadership CEO Forum and a Roundtable focusing on public service innovation, providing an invaluable knowledge-sharing platform that connects global field experts, policy makers, industry leaders and forward-thinking minds.
