Positioning itself as a more cerebral and enterprise driven part of the London Design Festival, the forum starts on 16 September at the V&A with a conversation with Peter Saville. Day Two at the Southbank Centre has four sessions, which as well as the participants above, include Justine Simons (Acting Deputy Mayor for Culture), Adrian van Hooydonk (Senior Vice President of BMW Group Design), Ben Page (CEO of Ipsos Mori)and others. On the agenda will be creativity and the smart city, brands versus designers and the importance of disruptive and radical ideas to innovation.
Tickets are available from globaldesignforum.com, priced at £395 + VAT – but if you book before end of Friday 16 Aug there’s a £70 discount.
