'Intersections' - Service Design Conference, Singapore
Welcome to the first ever Service Design Conference in Singapore: Intersections.
🌐 About this event
Intersections is a two-day (23-24 July 2026) gathering that brings together service design, innovation, and cross-sector practitioners to explore what becomes possible when diverse minds meet at the edges.
This is not a sit-and-listen conference. Come ready to think, make, and move.
🧭 Our theme: Intersections
We live in an era where disciplines, roles, technologies, cultures, and ideas are colliding at an unprecedented speed -creating conditions for something new to emerge.
Intersections are where ideas collide, perspectives converge, and weak signals from the fringes begin to take emerge. Intersections are also where the most urgent questions of our time live:
How do we design our lives (& careers) and organisations to navigate these intersections - and create transitions that keep us valuable to the world, and meaningful to ourselves?
📅 What's happening across the two days
23-24 July 2026
We will have a combination of talks & conversations that will inspire you, give you insights and make you reflect; and a series of hands on generative studio sessions where you can build on takeaways for yourself at intersections of present and future.
Talks, Dialogues & Studio Sessions: A curated programme of talks and workshops with renowned global and regional voices in design, innovation and transformation giving you tools and perspectives that you can bring back to your work immediately.
Topics (tbc) include: Prototyping with AI; Designing citizen services; Intersection of service design with other disciplines like futures & foresight, innovation & transformation, organisational development. Experts and practitioners will share insights and principles along with their real world experiences.
