Dezeen and Universal Design Studio will host a live-streamed panel discussion on the role of design consultancies and how they are adapting to a fast-changing industry. Watch it live from 2pm London time on Tuesday 22 March.

The talk coincides with the launch of The New Standard, a new design collective formed by Universal Design Studio, Made Thought and Map Project Office, which sees the three companies come together to share their expertise on projects within different design fields, whilst remaining distinct entities.

The discussion will explore how consultancies can provide bold and innovative creative solutions whilst navigating the evolving needs of the industry.

The panel will be made up of associate director Carly Sweeney and associate Nick Rolls of Universal Design Studio, as well as senior designer and strategist Emilie Robinson of Map Project Office.

The talk will be moderated by Dezeen's editor-at-large Amy Frearson.

The talk will be broadcast live from the Universal Design Studio library in London. Tune in from 2pm London time on Tuesday 22 March.
