"xDesign 2013" at Harvard University

On January 25th and 26th, a speaker series and a design challenge will take place at the newly constructed Harvard Innovation Lab, Harvard Business School, and the Graduate School of Design. xDesign will unite students, professors, design professionals, and subject matter experts to reframe the future of education. Read their manifesto [here].

The event includes a speaker series and a design challenge at the newly constructed Harvard Innovation Lab, Harvard Business School, and the Graduate School of Design. With a focus to reframe the future of education, the model and structure of the conference allows participants to unpack tacit, hidden, and evident knowledge from each corner of the university, through simple yet uncommon dialogue between each school. The event has been carefully crafted to align with these overall strategic objectives by curating interdisciplinary teams so that they might best take advantage of the design process and showcase its value proposition to those outside the design sphere. xDesign will create a network of creative thinkers involving subject matter experts, critics, professors, design luminaries, professionals, and students.

Panelists participants are:

Charles Adler / Cofounder at Kickstarter,
Andy Berndt / VP, Google Creative Lab
Patrick Whitney / Director, Institute of Design
Bruce Nussbaum / Professor, The New School
Hunter Tura / CEO, Bruce Mau Design
