Join the Dublin design community for a night of inspiration, innovation, and insight at Defuse, and explore the theme of Reclaiming Design: Taking Back Purpose in an Automated Age.
In a world where algorithms accelerate and timelines compress, design is often reduced by the very speed and automation meant to empower it. This event is a call to action – a chance to get back to what we’re truly here for. Bringing together 12 of Ireland’s leading experts in design to share their stories and highlight the most compelling challenges they face in rapid-fire 5-minute, 20-slide presentations.
Hosted by IxDA Dublin, Service Design Ireland, DublinUX, and DesignBrew, this evening is more than just a series of talks. It’s a gathering for the entire design community to connect, challenge the status quo, and celebrate our craft.
Don’t miss the amazing design competition with fantastic prizes up for grabs!
