The 2023 SEGD Academic Summit is a virtual event hosted on June 28 and June 29. Read on to learn more about this year’s event topics and speakers.

The SEGD Academic Summit is a forum for trends in design education research, projects and curriculum innovation for design academics, students and researchers. This event is great for industry members as well, to reconnect and learn about new ideas evolving from current research. This event is entirely free and promotes the latest developments in design research and education.

“The 2023 SEGD Academic Summit is a forum for sharing global trends in design education, research, and curriculum innovation for academics, students, and researchers. It also provides the opportunity to start the multi-level conversations that we as the experiential design community must have to forge pathways forward for diversity in design education and professional practice. As we celebrate SEGD’s 50 years of education and practice, it is this foundational thought leadership that shifts current practice by engaging future thinking.”  - Joell Angel-Chumbley, SEGD Academic Task Force Chair
