The Design Society is a global, charitable association of individuals committed to advancing design through research, education, practice, and outreach. Our story began in 2000, building on the legacy of the WDK group and the long-running International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED), which started back in 1981. What began as a focused engineering initiative has grown into a diverse, multidisciplinary network that spans the globe. Since then, we’ve gathered biennially in cities like Stockholm, Milan, Stanford, and Bordeaux, and continue to host and support a wide range of design conferences and events.
