Visit DDW Talks
Together with key figures from the field of design and beyond, we explore diverse design disciplines, discuss current affairs, reflect on the past and cast our minds into the future. This year we invite you to join our DDW Talks in the morning or afternoon at Fifth at NRE (Canal area).
Good to know:
- After the DDW Talks, we invite you to continue the conversation over a light lunch (morning programme) or drinks & bites (afternoon programme)
- All the DDW Talks are in English.
