In collaboration with the Speculative Futures Austin chapter this will be the first session in a series of Transition Design Salons. These sessions are open to a global audience and event times may be adjusted in the future to accommodate more timezones. This first session will be hosted at 9am PST (Seattle, WA) / 10am CST (Austin, TX) / 12pm EST (Boston, MA), 2pm GMT-3 (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) / 5pm GMT (Edinburgh, UK).
The intent of this series, like a traditional salon style gathering, is to bring people together to excite one another and increase our knowledge through conversation. We'll be convening remotely from all around the globe.
Historically salons have acted as important places for the exchange of ideas. Through this series we will discuss Transition Design and exchange ways in which methods from the field of Transition Design can be applied in varied contexts lightly guided by our Panelists who have experience in Academia, the Private Sector, and the Public Sector.
