DesignThinkers 2021 Virtual
November 8–19, 2021 
Virtual

It's been a year of flux that has challenged us all—designers included—to re-examine and re-work every aspect of our personal and professional lives. In 2021, DesignThinkers, Canada’s largest annual graphic design conference, is appropriately themed DesignReThinkers. This year's DIY, type-driven branding by Bruce Mau Design signals the urgency of our moment and everyone’s ability to participate in it.

Conference registration grants access to live, recorded and interactive programming; recordings of all sessions for 3 months after the event; access to an interactive platform with other event participants, speakers and panelists and a digital goodie bag.

 Join the RGD in November as they offer a forum for delegates to discuss and explore the ways design practice is being re-considered, re-defined and re-formed.
