Dear Service Design Insider,

The heat is on! As we all enjoy the sunny weather, there is an undeniable thirst to go out and connect with one another. The pandemic has taken a lot of our time and possible chance to make meaningful connections. Now is the best time to break free! 

Hip Hip! Hooray! After two years of fully-virtual conferences, the Service Design Global Conference will return to the physical world, at the fantastic venue of Copenhagen Contemporary.

This unique hybrid format allows participation for all types of attendees—even if you cannot make it to beautiful Denmark.

Join us for inspiring talks, conversations and networking that emphasise the changing role of Service Design and how courage is essential and necessary in setting the correct agenda. 

We hope that we can meet you in person or virtually and celebrate the amazing energy of our global community!

Have the courage to design for good!

Happy reading, service designers! ✨

Warmest regards,
Birgit

The Service Design Academy is pleased to welcome back Dr Tina Weisser on 8 and 14 July 2022 for her highly regarded course, User Research Masterclass - The art of asking.
