Featured Speaker
Co-creating Value
Uday Dandavate, Co-founder & CEO, SonicRim
With blurring boundaries, evolution of new relationships, and diffusion of power structures, the design community has the opportunity to lead sustainable innovation through co-creation. Designerly ways of knowing, sensing, visualizing and communicating will be useful to stakeholders across disciplines and organizations in the co-creation of value.

His curiosity for people, cultures, and change has drawn him to fields as diverse as anthropology, psychology, communication, sociology, marketing, politics, and design.
