Academic Design Management Conference ADMC20

OCAD University

Toronto, Canada
August 5-6, 2020

Mark your calendars! One of DMI's longest running events, the DMI Biennial Academic Design Management Research Conference will be held in Toronto during the summer of 2020. The conference creates an inclusive conversation among academics and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to examine the ways in which design management can inform innovation now and in the future. We aim to lay the groundwork to advance the state of the art in design management research, theory, and practice, and produce a significant contribution to the field through the paper presentations, conference proceedings, and producing a special issue of the dmi:Journal.

More details to be announced late spring 2019.
