04.04.2025 Regional Meeting

The ICoD Regional Meeting (RM) Europe will take place on 6 June in Ljubljana, Slovenia. 

The ICoD Regional Meetings (RMs) are a key part of the Council’s international programming. RMs provide an opportunity for ICoD Members to engage with the design community at the regional level on common topics and challenges – in an international context. This year, the RM will be co-organised with the Brumen Foundation and Design Federation OÜ and will be a part of the European Design Festival 2025 which will run from 5–8 June. The context of the European Design Festival will be a place to engage with designers from Europe and discuss the topics around professionalism and design. A core topic of the RM will be about setting standards for the ICoD Code of Conduct and AI to address the role of design in understanding the complex relationships between AI and humans, the environment, cities and all forms of life.
