Brand Design Conference 2018
www.branddesign2018.net
21 and 22 September 2018
London, UK


Extended submission deadline β€” 22 May, 2018
Acceptance notification β€” 25 June, 2018
Early bird registration deadline β€” 6 July, 2018

The aim of this design-led conference is to establish a new forum for brand research and discussion, putting Design (both as a process and a humanist approach) at its core as one of the most relevant disciplines of branding itself. It is expected that inter and transdisciplinary aspects of design-led branding methods, approaches and experiences can be discussed.
The conference seeks mainly to focus on the vital and underrepresented role of Design theories and practices in Branding, unveiling Design’s potential to create brands and the wider impact of Design in Branding.
It will address the role of Design in brand-oriented innovation processes, the emerging forms of brand design practice, and the possible links between design researchers and practitioners to learn from each other, creating better opportunities for emerging designers.
