Through the theme of this year’s conference, Designing on Purpose, we hope to achieve a shift in focus to intention, impact and implementation, so that participants can return to their schools and begin to make a change straight away, as a result of the exchange of ideas at the conference.

WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR

… we tried doing this by selecting those proposals that showed cross-functionality , intentional collaboration and that are geared towards production

Here's what kind of sessions you can expect
