At Otago Polytechnic School of Design we hosted a design symposium in October – a short, upbeat, informal talkfest for industrial designers. It was really fun and a lot of work, and a nice privilege to help with the design and organising. We wanted the name and look of the thing to reflect the values of our team, and be as un-scary and down-to-earth as possible. The event was really well-supported and we were super grateful to all the speakers and conveners, OP, Mike Waddell, the industry friends and students and other attendees, and all the many people who helped behind the scenes.
