In The Age Of Too Much

​About the event:

This September, Parallel invites you to In the Age of Too Much:
A three-day exploration of how we shape, structure, and design knowledge in an era defined by overwhelm.

Hosted in the heart of Shoreditch during London Design Festival. the event brings together designers, technologists, product thinkers and curious minds to explore three urgent themes:

• Sensemaking in an Age of Too Much
• The Future of Knowledge Work
• The New Aesthetics of Intelligence
