A lot’s happened since 2004, when we held the first Design Engaged. Since then, friends of DE have written books, had work in MOMA, founded companies, earned PhDs, not to mention gotten married, and had babies. DE2008 will be a chance to take stock and consider our values, practices, and goals, and how we now view some of the problems and challenges ahead of us. As in years past, DE2008 will be small, invitation-only, and a lot of fun.

The important details:

WHERE: Coeur des Sciences, Montreal, Canada

WHEN: October 3-5, 2008 (Friday-Sunday)

HOW MUCH: $400 (US) per person. This covers registration, lunch each day, and a group dinner Saturday night. We’ll have some funds available to help cover costs for students—please let us know if we can help bring you to Montreal!

We’ll send details about hotels and presentation programming closer to the event, and we’ll be posting the latest news and logistics info on this site. Subscribe to the feed for updates.

We look forward to seeing you!
