2017

For the fourth annual By Design Conference, we changed our venue to P.O.

We have also sold out over two months before the event!
Take a look at how it went.

In 2017 we have also hosted our first highly specialised spin-off conference, Xperience By Design, which took place at the historical Lucerna Palace in Prague. We listened about and discussed experience design with the top experience and product designers from Facebook, Spotify, Google, Ustwo, Stripe, Sweet Studio and Supersense.
