Organized by

Design and Innovation Nottingham

The Meetup was set up by Nottingham based consultancy Nightingale Design Research.

DiNG aims to provide a regular, informal, gathering for people working in the development of products and services to learn about design, innovation and research through practical talks and open discussion.

The aim for each meetup is that people will have an enjoyable time learning and supporting each other and gain at least one practical idea they can apply to their work.

At each event you can hear talks from inspirational guest speakers working in the design and innovation space.

There's always time for you to ask questions, discuss your ideas and make valuable connections over free drinks and pizza.

"I aim to attend every DiNG, because of the people and the perspectives I meet there. It's great that I can meet other design experts, the fresh ideas of students and business innovators. The speakers are interesting and cover a range of subjects, keeping it fresh and with more depth than the other events I've attended locally" — Elsa Bartley, UX Designer
