About this event

In the design industry, much of the attention is often given to junior and senior roles, leaving the pivotal role of middle managers largely overlooked. However, middle managers are the backbone of the industry, adapting and learning on the job, and often being the most capable of tackling the daily challenges while seizing emerging opportunities.

Through Conversations For Change (CFC), we hope that you can join us to witness first hand coaching sessions with ICF-certified coaches who are industry design leaders. The experience can help middle managers navigate the delicate balance between managing day-to-day operations and leading with vision and innovation. 

Conversations For Change: Middle Managers – The Unspoken Expectation is an event dedicated to explore the distinction between managing and leading, highlighting how middle managers can evolve into effective leaders through coaching for development. Participants will gain insights into strategies for managing stress, fostering innovation, and enhancing their impact in their roles.

Join us at ICTD 2024 to explore these dynamic themes where the future of design meets the cutting-edge of artificial intelligence, shaping a new era of creativity and technological advancement.

Artificial Intelligence: Empowering the New Era of Design (人工智能：开启设计新时代)

The 6th International Conference on Technology and Design (ICTD) 2024, themed Artificial Intelligence: Empowering the New Era of Design, will delve into the transformative role of AI across the broader landscape of design and technology. This year’s conference, taking place on 17 October at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), promises to be a platform for global academics, business leaders, and industry practitioners to exchange ideas and explore the profound impact of AI on design. 

Participants will gain valuable insights from experts in diverse fields, such as AI research, architecture, design engineering etc. These thought leaders will discuss the integration of AI into creative processes, its convergence with traditional design disciplines, and its role as a catalyst for innovation.

The International Conference on Technology and Design (ICTD) is a joint effort between SUTD and Zhejiang University (ZJU). The annual ICTD is co-hosted by SUTD and ZJU, which has been held alternately between Singapore and Hangzhou, China since 2019. The objective of ICTD is to congregate world-renowned higher education institutions and leading industry organisations to discuss the current situation, challenges and advancements relating to the rapid emergence and fusion of technology and design.  

Please note that this event is free admission, and registration is required. Light refreshments will be provided at the event.
