We’re gathering to answer the question: How do we design a world where everyone can thrive? You’re invited.

DOTI Fest is a day-long event celebrating the real stories behind great design. Through informal talks and creative sessions, we’ll uncover how organisations design the products and services that we use every day.

We started Design On The Inside (DOTI) because we felt that only the 'hero' stories of design were being told. We were missing an honest conversation about the everyday challenges that governments, businesses, civics and charities face when designing a world where everyone can thrive.

Our vision is to create a world where people and communities thrive. We see this as a systems challenge. DOTI Fest brings voices from across systems to join up on some of our planet's biggest challenges, from critical health services to lifelong learning, daily shopping to designing a truly inclusive world.

DOTI Fest 2019 is a platform for honest, system-wide conversation and collaboration.

The highlights

DOTI Fest 2019 has a thought-provoking line-up covering everything from the designing for the climate crisis to 24 hours in housing.

We’re bringing keynotes, panel discussions, performances, workshops and fireside chats across 3 core areas:

• People - how to create services that are tailored to every individual, so they are able to live fulfilling lives in an empowering environment.
• Place - how to create sustainable and participatory places that harness technological change, resulting in more liveable places.
• Business - how to help organisations build business models that favour people over process, and enhance our communities and environment.

We can also promise:

• A festival feel throughout.
• Delicious vegan and vegetarian street food.
• Accessible and inclusive spaces.
• A sustainable and mindful approach to merchandise.
• An after party to continue the conversation.
