Design your Design Week Experience
Browse the events on the Programs page.
- Online live events with a timeslot require registration so you can receive the details to access the events.
- Events that are "free all week" will be released on the event pages September 9 and will be available for you to explore on your own time.
Register for online live events now to reserve your space!
You'll find an orange REGISTER button on each event page.
Add the event to your calendar. (There's a quick link to do this right above the REGISTER button on the event page.)
Any links you receive for Zoom sessions are meant for you only. Don't share them with others!
Prepping for Design Week:
Before your online live events start, review your registration emails and get your access links ready for the day. (Most events are on Zoom, but there are a few on other platforms such as Crowdcast and Kast.)
Will I be visible in the events I attend? That depends. Most sessions are presented as Zoom Meetings or Zoom Webinars. You'll be visible in a Zoom Meeting but not in a Webinar. You can always turn off your camera if you prefer not to be shown.
Get creative and download the SDDW Zoom backgrounds, if you'd like!
For Zoom sessions, log on a little early, in case you might need to do a quick registration to enter the session.
