Wat we doen
After the successful edition of ThingsCon Amsterdam 2015, we, the organising team, had the idea not to wait until December 2016 to have another get-together with our ‘new things-enthusiasts’. Also we heard a lot of attendees share the pity of only be able to do one of the workshops. That inspired us to plan the ThingsCon Salons!
Now we have organised Salons from 2016 till now. Check our latest here and RSVP to be there!

Designing the unknown unknowns of new relations with generative things
As the theme for 2024 ThingsCon is exploring Generative Things, what will be the impact of extending our digital lives with generative AI on the physical things we live with? How can we design new relations with things with agency?
Interactive session based on reflections of futures thinkers and designers
ThingsCon is 10 years old! We are celebrating this with a special exhibition on the next decade of things made tangible. This exhibition will be part of TH/NGS 2024, held as always in December. To mark ten years of connected things, we look at so-called Generative Things; what if the things we use are infused by the new default of our digital life with generative AI?
We invite all young designers to participate and share ideas. We will create an exhibition with the most interesting objects and provide a budget to make them into mockups of the provotypes.
To kick-off the design we asked renown international designers and future thinkers to reflect on the theme of Generative Things. At the Salon during Dutch Design Week we will present the visions and discuss together the future of things. Expect in this workshop an interactive form of building design fiction. The outcomes will be the design briefings for the participants in the challenge for designers.
