Design Talks: No Slides, Just Stories
Friday, June 27 | 6:00–8:00 PM
Duke of York Pub, Toronto
Let’s gather, grab a drink, and swap stories from the field of service design.
Design Talks is a casual evening where service designers (and the service-design curious!) share short, 5–7 minute talks—no slides, no polish, just real talk.
We’re thrilled to announce topics and speakers
🎙️ Service Design for AI enablement – Kriti Singhvi
🎙️ Cutting through the service fog – Tom Connole
🎙️ Learnings from career break and job search - Arun Joseph
Expect candid insights, unexpected ideas, and conversations you’ll remember. No slides. Just stories. And your next favourite design conversation.
🎯 What to expect:
A cozy upstairs pub setting with drinks and chatter
5–7 min lightning talks from the community
Time for Q&A, discussions
No slides—just stories, ideas, reflections
A low-pressure, high-support vibe
Time to mingle and meet new people
Looking forward to seeing you!
