We're re-starting the series with a hybrid event, hosted in Bristol at OVO Energy's offices, but with an option for designers from further afield to join to watch lightning talks from several of our Design Council Experts: Joanna Boehnert (AHRC Innovation Scholar), Kevin Barton (Robert Bray Associates) and Caroline Lewis (Access Design Solutions), and from James Reece, Design Lead at Kaluza (our hosts for the evening).

The Design for Planet Collective events aim to inspire and facilitate cross industry collaborations, innovation and connection in order to move the conversation around design for planet forwards at pace.

For this event, two of our Design Council Experts, Ned Gartside (DEFRA) and Cory Hughes (Perago), will also be running a session with local designers across the South West and Wales, to work together on creating a regional Design for Planet Sub-Group that can continue meeting and collaborating moving forwards.

Please note, if you'd like to attend in-person in Bristol, please book your in-person tickets here to secure your space at the venue.
