​👉 What are we seeing — and what do we make of it?

​You know how DTIA usually unfolds.

​We come in with a few ideas, conversations take unexpected turns, and by the end of it, something shifts.

​Last year especially had that “house party” feel — people stayed, conversations carried on, and the best moments weren’t always the planned ones.

​👉 Time well spent—with people who matter

​We’re bringing it together again this year.

​As always, it’s something we organize as a community and simply share the cost of making it happen.

​This includes:

  • ​Lunch on Saturday and Sunday
  • ​Saturday drinks and light food (informal, roaming — same setup as before)

​For those who want to go a bit further, we’ve arranged an optional visit to INNOX in Shenzhen on Monday (18 May).

​INNOX applies end-to-end design thinking to incubate startups — from problem definition through to product and market — so it’s a chance to see that in practice.

​If this gathering of minds matters, it’s worth locking it in now—before the calendar fills up.

Theme and format

The World Has Shifted — What Now?

Making sense in a bewildering world. Moving forward.

Over two days, we’ll move through a simple journey together:

Making Sense → Rethinking Our Role → From D (Domesticated)  to W (Wilder) → Becoming Wilder

Each part building on the last—moving from understanding to action.

This isn’t a traditional conference—more a curated, participative gathering shaped by the people in the room.
