2025 SEGD Wayfinding + Placemaking
Apr 23, 2025Transforming Spaces – Connecting People
Wayfinding and placemaking do more than guide people from point A to point B—they transform spaces into experiences and foster deeper connections between people and place. As cities, campuses, and cultural institutions evolve, the role of design in shaping seamless, inclusive, and engaging environments has never been more critical.
At 2025 SEGD Wayfinding + Placemaking, industry leaders will share the latest insights into how intentional design enhances navigation, reinforces spatial identities, and elevates user experiences—all while cultivating a deeper connection to our shared spaces.
