IDSA’s South District Design Conference will revolve around the provocation that in design, experience is everything: “Design today is all about delivering fantastic experiences across many touchpoints—moments of surprise and delight that connect people to the objects they own, spaces they inhabit and services they use…If a great experience is the culmination of several elements, then what does it mean if industrial designers are focusing only on ‘how it looks’ or 'how it feels’? It’s time to explore a wider approach and set a course for a new future design, where experience is everything.”
