12th Harvard x Design Conference
HarvardxDesign is an annual conference launched in 2012 and led by students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. We bring together creative thinkers, industry leaders, professors, and students to engage, debate, and reinterpret the design process across scales and sectors. Our goal is to share knowledge, tools, and resources that can empower creatives to become change agents through design.
The 2024 conference, themed CO-, will focus on the processes and practices of working directly with the systems, communities, and people who would be users. We aim to explore what the future of design practice looks like through the lenses of collaborating with and for human accessibility and inclusivity, intelligent machines, and wider environmental systems. Through these conversations, we aim to find common threads of methods and thought across scales and mediums of design.
