This year Knowledge of Design Week (KODW), the annual event hosted by Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC), will debut as a virtual event for international audiences. Under the theme “Designing Digital Futures”,  the event will have an emphasis on the post-pandemic outlook and how design can shape change with empathy, creativity and resilience.

Throughout the four days, over 40 local and international speakers will share their views about emerging cross-industry trends and subjects such as creativity and design leadership, smart cities and liveability, the future of work and brand resilience.

KODW participants will automatically join a networking platform which enables them to connect with speakers and start conversations with others in the event community.

Knowledge of Design Week 2020 takes place online from 26 to 29 August 2020.
