Are you shaping the future of experiential design? SEGD is now accepting submissions for the 2025 SEGD Academic Summit, a virtual event on June 17-18, 2025.  Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts by the new deadline of January 27, 2025, following the requirements detailed in the Call for Papers guidelines below.

Submissions from design educators and researchers from around the world will undergo an anonymous peer-review process by the SEGD Academic Task Force. Selected research is presented at the SEGD Academic Summit. The 2025 SEGD Academic Summit provides the opportunity to convene educators, students, researchers, and practitioners from the field of experiential design whose academic and professional research as well as curriculum innovation continue to impact and reshape the past, present and future advancement of the field. These practices include branded environments, digital experiences, exhibition, placemaking, public installation, strategy/research/planning, and wayfinding.

Selected papers will also be published in SEGD’s online Academic Research journal Communication + Place. You can view previous issues of Communication + Place here.
