Montreal (Canada) – The Design Capital seminar series presented as part of State of Design 2009, is Australia's premier business seminar series showcasing design vision, innovation and strategies that provide a critical, competitive edge. Icograda, the world body for professional communication design, is pleased to be a major partner with the Festival for the 2009 Design Capital seminar series.
Taking place from 16-17 July 2009 in Melbourne, Victoria, the Design Capital seminar series presented by Design Victoria offers tools to survive the economic downturn, methods to transform business through sustainable innovation, and perspectives on the future intersections of manufacturing and design with new technologies and systems.
Business and design leaders speaking at the 2009 Design Capital seminar series will present their vision and insights to the strategies and tools that can help businesses respond to shifting, volatile market conditions and the uptake of the low carbon economy.
"Our 2009 theme 'Sampling the Future' reminds us all that design is shaping the future of the world we live in. As ecological, economic and social issues converge, design holds one of the keys to logical and tangible solutions for tomorrow," said Ewan McEoin, Creative Director of the Festival.
