This is what some of the applicants had to say about the DesignThinkers Conference: 

 

"Each DesignThinkers conference I have attended has helped me dramatically become a better designer and business owner." - Clair Forshaw
 

"DesignThinkers is an inspiring conference that brings together creatives, innovators and delivers a real positive outlook to the design community. This positivity is so needed in these times of uncertainty." - Marcos Terenzio RGD

 

"I have attended DesignThinkers in the past and it has been an incredibly valuable experience. As I transition from the corporate world to freelancing in the new year, it would be amazing to be able to attend DesignThinkers 2020 and get a fresh perspective and inspiration." - Kate Bradfield, Provisional RGD

 

"As a graphic design student, I'm always trying to learn. Having the opportunity to attend one of the most important design conferences in Canada would mean the world to me. Being able to absorb as much knowledge as possible from this conference will be the absolute goal of mine" - Jaccobo Roldan, Student RGD

 

"This year's conference is online which is amazing for someone like me in a semi-isolated area. I would like to attend this year as travel will not be an issue and I'd have the chance to meet and network with creatives from all over the world. This is an opportunity of a lifetime." - Mary-Margret Degraaf, Student RGD

 

"I would like to have the opportunity to attend the DesignThinkers 2020 Conference because when I attended for the first time last year I felt completely awakened creatively. I was exposed to so many incredible creative minds that challenged me to think about design differently and encouraged me to explore the different avenues that the field offers." - Anne-Marie Connolly, Student RGD

 

This year DesignThinkers will take place virtually over 2 weeks from November 9 to 20.
