2024 Leadership Forum – Designing Time

29 Nov | Senate Room (M1603), Block M, PolyU


The Leadership Forum on Designing Time 2024 is part of the Business of Design Week (BODW), organized annually by the Hong Kong Design Centre and the School of Design at PolyU. The Forum usually attracted attendees from the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the United States, representing both industry and academia.

This year’s theme, Designing Time, focuses on creating experiences and interactions that engage our senses across various design disciplines. It emphasizes designing time within specific spaces—whether in homes, structures, or public areas like campus squares. This approach fosters immersive experiences and meaningful interactions that resonate with all the senses, contributing to diverse cultures over time.

Scheduled for November 29 as a hybrid event, the half-day Forum will bring together distinguished leaders for high-level dialogues, offering insights into past design processes and preparing for the future.
