agIdeas 2012 design for business and industry. 22 may

Conference Theme: Design as a Strategic Resource

The conference has received a substantial interest from a range of researchers and professionals coming from the USA, China, Australia, Iran, South Africa, Mexico, Denmark, Italy, UK, Germany and more. We have invited a panel of 30 independent and internationally recognised experts to help us review the submissions. After what was a rigorous review process, we have selected 11 papers, written by 23 authors and co-authors.

We are proud to present you a list of inspiring design scholars such as Dr Robert Crocker-an Oxford-educated design and science historian and co-editor of a series of books on design, sustainability and behaviour change from the eminent British publishing house Routledge, and design professionals such as Russell Kennedy-the past President of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda). We are also particularly pleased to have on board the research team from the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science whose clients include Coca-Cola, P&G, Turner Media, Unilever, General Motors, and Leo Burnett.

In a stimulating full-day conference, the presenters will cover areas ranging from strategic design and business forecasting, to industry-driven design education, sustainability, behaviour change, packaging design, interior design, communication design, brand development, and market research. This transdisciplinary research conference, chaired by Dr Gjoko Muratovski, will become a forum for those at the forefront of new ideas, new resolutions, and recommendations for practical application when it comes to design for business and industry.

After the conference, you are welcome to join us for a networking event in the evening-the DMI Night Out, Melbourne. This event is a part of the global initiative by the US-based Design Management Institute (DMI), and is being hosted in selected locations in New York, Moscow, Miami, Madrid, Hamburg, Sao Paolo, Shanghai, Toronto, and Sydney. We are proud to be your hosts in Melbourne. For more details, and to register your attendance, visit this link. This is a free event, and with your ticket to the research conference, the drink is on us.
