A three day conference dedicated to design research and researchers!

Focus 

Design research forms a critical component in the process of understanding, shaping and addressing systemic issues from the level of individual products and services, and organisation structures, through to societal challenges such as climate change and inequality. 

This year's event will seek to explore the breadth of design research practices that contribute to these challenges at every level, from initial assessment to planning and conducting, and analysis and use.

What our 2023 attendees had to say about the hybrid event

"The content was fantastic, and it was a breath of fresh air to reflect on the practice.
Connecting with other professionals and seeing what they do inspired me to think about my next steps."
"Attending Design Research is a must for all those who want to gauge the temperature of the state of design research in Australia!"
"Excellent line up across a variety of topics"
