The Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) brought together multidisciplinary designers from around the world for the first comprehensive and virtual multi-day event dedicated to exhibition and experience design. This series, entitled How Soon Is Now? Designing Change, focused on the current state of museum design processes and practices, and will examine how designers, storytellers and artists create experiences in the physical and virtual realms for audiences of varied backgrounds, ethnicities, abilities, and ages.
The course package features a line-up of 20-plus thought leaders and designers from around the world, including several SEGD global design award winners.
VIP virtual museum tours will give viewers inside views of several highly anticipated exhibitions and interactive installations, including: United States Olympic and Paralympic Museum, UN Live - The Museum of the United Nations, and London’s Science Museum newest exhibition on Medicine from the Henry Wellcome and the Science Museum Group Collection.
