We're excited to launch the very first Adelaide Design Thinking meet up as we explore the vital role of design within SA. Join us for an evening of inspiration, conversation, and community-building as we help collectively shape our future gatherings. We look forward to seeing you there!

#### Key Topics of Discussion:

1. Guest Speaker Panel: We will be welcoming some amazing design leads in Adelaide to a panel where they will share their expertise and experiences related to design in Adelaide. Their insights will set the stage for a rich discussion.

Co-MCing the event is Natasha Ballantyne from Scyne Advisory and Maria K from Aplo. Here's who you can catch on the panel:

⭐️ Bek Kennedy - Director of Enterprise Service Design at Australian Financial Security Authority
⭐️ Simon Woods - Head of User Experience at Employment Hero
⭐️ Claire Webber - Accessibility Design Specialist at Intopia
⭐️ Ben Pecotich (Facilitator) - Co-founder of Sydney Design Thinking & founder of the leadership, design, and innovation social enterprise Dynamic4

2. The Future of Design in Adelaide: Engage in a forward-looking discussion on the evolving landscape of design in our city. What opportunities and challenges lie ahead for designers in Adelaide? How can design drive more people centred services through better digital and non digital experiences, innovation and accessibility?

3. Shaping Future Meetups: As part of our collaborative spirit, we will open the floor to ideas and suggestions on how future Adelaide Design Thinking meetups can be structured. What topics would you like to see? What format promotes the most meaningful dialogue? Your input is invaluable!
