Call for sessions

We have received already multiple interesting session proposals. Do you like to propose an interactive session or workshop that fits TH/NGS and our theme“Generative Things”, please use this form to send you ideas.

Open call for designers

To mark ten years of connected things we iniated a special “Exhibition of 10 provotypes from the future”

We invite all young designers to participate and share ideas. We will create an exhibition with the most interesting objects and provide a budget to make them into mockups of the provotypes.

To kick-off the design we asked renown international designers and future thinkers to reflect on the theme of Generative Things. At the Salon during Dutch Design Week we will present the visions and discuss together the future of things. Expect in this workshop an interactive form of building design fiction. The outcomes will be the design briefings for the participants in the challenge for designers.

We are working together with the Master Digital Design of AUAS and UMEA. You can still sign up for the open call for designers.
