Past Event

For this virtual event, the Design Age Institute (DAI) is bringing together designers, businesses, service-providers, researchers, policy-makers, and ageing humans to explore the power of design and design thinking to equip individuals and communities with the products and services needed to maintain agency and experience joy at every age.

Join us to share your opinions and experiences, and help shape and engage with our community as it starts up.
