Join us for the SDS & SEGD London joint symposium: 'Positive Places'

What’s positive and exciting in the world right now for wayfinding and placemaking, from bold, people-first design to smart new tech. 2026 'Positive Places' symposium speakers who will be joining us: • Colin Davies and Nic Quinn (Sum Place): 'Joy lives in the ordinary: making public art for shared spaces' • Ibrahim Ibrahim (Portland): 'Place faking: a cultural revolution' • Cannon Ivers (LDA Design): 'Retrofit city: social ecologies in the symbiocene' • Luciana Mattiello (STUDIOMDA): 'Designing belonging: how environmental communication creates positive places' • Wesley Meyer (f.r.a.): 'The power of 'soft projects'. How gentle change gets unique results' • Jessica Rose (Rise Up / Plastic Free Thanet): 'Rise up: people, place, planet' We’ve also got a brilliant venue lined up: accessible, welcoming, and just a really good place to spend a day thinking, talking, and bumping into people you’re genuinely glad to see. More details soon… for now, stick the date in your diary, spread the word and keep an eye out for updates. [The ticket cost includes attendance at the symposium (12.45pm-5.15pm) and the networking drinks reception on-site afterwards (5.15pm-7.15pm)]
