Bringing Futures Thinking into a Designers Toolkit with Nile

We are delighted to be invited along to NileHQ this month to hear their thoughts on future thinking and the impact it is having within their design practice.

Join us on the evening to hear more about how futures thinking methods influence our design practices. In a world of increasing change, it might be time to update our approach.

The evening will include some interactive elements so unable to be live-streamed. Due to the venue size, we have slightly less capacity so please update your RSVP if you are not able to attend.
