From 22nd Feb to 14th Mar I'll be visiting SFO, CHI, NYC, LON and HKG. As part of the 2015 kick-off tour we'll be hosting Design Drinks, an opportunity to meet advisory panel members, meet other designers and catch up with some folks who you haven't seen for a while.
Details will start to appear on Facebook.com/TheDesign100 from 17th Feb.
This year's calendar is crazy - I get scared when I look at the program of activities. Every month until January we've got events, awards programs, content features, forums and touring showcases happening.
I was asked for an elevator pitch the other day, my answer was "we're a community of over 26,000 design professionals collaborating to grow design demand".
From this a long conversation continues, so if anyone asks you, I'd suggest you use that.
Increased demand for design services, products and education means that design professionals are in a growing industry and businesses that consume design are using the most effective, proven and understood method to accelerate transformation - design.
It's shaping up to be a huge year, get involved, come and have a drink or get in touch via email.
Below we're highlighting the current opportunities to get involved this month as well as a range of events. We're scouting input for our forthcoming Bank/Insurance Design and Wearable Tech features - looking forward to getting your contributions.
