| “Design Thinking, a methodology that imbues the full spectrum of innovation activities with a human-centered design ethos... Innovation is powered by a thorough understanding, through direct observation, of what people want and need in their lives and what they like or dislike about the way particular products are made, packaged, marketed, sold and supported.”
- Harvard Business Review, June 2008.
DesignThinkers is the annual conference of the Association of Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario (RGD Ontario). Representing over 3,000 design professionals and students, RGD Ontario is the professional organization for graphic design in Ontario, and unique in Canada with its ability to grant the designation Registered Graphic Designer (R.G.D.), signaling a high level of competence and ethics.
Attracting over 1,000 participants and a full line-up of fascinating speakers, DesignThinkers is Canada’s largest, most important graphic design event. It’s an occasion to listen, learn and interact with peers from across the country.
Now entering its 9th year (DesignThinkers 2008 – Oct. 27-29), DesignThinkers is a journey into the creative process and a celebration of strategic design thinking.
