The conference "The City, Technology and Design" is an opportunity to know and understand the value offered by the collaboration between disciplines, apparently without intersection points: academic research and design.
The conference comes to enrich with ideas and conversations the exhibition " Turn Signals - Design is not a Dashboard", within the Bright Cityscapes Program.
Moderated by the Bright Cityscapes program curator Martina Muzi, the discussions aim to address the needs of the local ecosystem through design and provide an international view on the state of digital transformation and design in general.
