BEDA Design Forum, 8 June 2023

Theme: The future Design Sector

This BEDA Design Forum will focus on the following question: which skills are needed as a designer?

Designers are at the forefront of creating meaning and value, but they also share responsibility for global challenges due to enormous consumption and the pursuit of financial growth, with too little attention paid to the long-term negative effects.

The design sector can be part of the solution by developing sustainable, regenerative, juster, and more life-enhancing solutions. Designers bear this responsibility and must possess the necessary skills to have a voice in decision-making.

To help set the scene

Join this important conversation at the BEDA Design Forum 2023 in Copenhagen. Based on inspirational talks, we’ll identify the crucial design (leadership) skills of the future Design Sector.
