Ecosystem Design: Why It’s Different — and Why It Matters | ADPList Syracuse 🇺🇸
About the Event
A systems approach to design is essential across fields like digital product development, brand strategy, urban planning, and organizational development. It helps teams see the whole picture and understand complex relationships between people, environments, and technology. By focusing on interactions within the system, designers can make more informed, impactful decisions that address root causes rather than symptoms.
At this debut event for the new ADPList Syracuse chapter, we'll discuss ecosystem design and why it matters alongside 4 experts. After an hour, we'll venture out to the usual bar we all know and love to enjoy refreshments and continue the conversation.
🗓️ February 11 @ 5:00 PM
📍 Salt City Market, Community Room
