The Design Educators Conference is coming to Toronto on Friday, October 3, following DesignThinkers in Toronto. Educators from around the world are invited to attend to discuss the future of design education.

Organized in partnership with George Brown College, the 2025 conference theme is ShiftShaping in design education and practice.

Educators, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit presentation or workshop proposals that explore the theme. Submissions should address how experimentation, failure and transformation intersect to reshape design and its role in society.

Submit a proposal. The deadline is May 23, 2025.
