hybrid = venue + hub on zoom
The white boxes indicate sessions that bring together people who are online with those who are in person in Brighton. Online participants join via the RSD11 hub on Zoom while in-person venues will broadcast the session.
online = zoom hub
A grey box indicates that the session is hosted online. There's a single #RSD11 Zoom link for the entire symposium, and the virtual lobby and chat will open 30 minutes before the session begins. Brighton sites will have dedicated spaces for those who want to join online sessions – however, they are not broadcast, so these are "bring your own device" sessions.
in-person = onsite venues only
There are several onsite venues, and details can be found in the black boxes marked "venue". Refreshments and lunch are provided.

Whereas conventional paper presentations usually begin with a talk and end with (often rushed) questions and comments, this format places interactions amongst participants as the main activities.

Design for Planet Roundtable | sallis benney theatre
Moderator: Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino
Discussants: Tom Ainsworth, Dan Lockton, Dulmini Perera, and Sally Sutherland
Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino is Chief Design Officer at The Design Council, the UK’s national strategic advisor for design, championing design and its ability to make life better for all. The Design for Planet mission was introduced in 2021 to galvanise and support the 1.97 million people who work in the UK’s design economy to help achieve net zero and beyond. Design for Planet Festival 2021 brought together 120 sustainable design leaders and 6,000 online attendees and was awarded Gold in the GOV Design Awards 2022. The 2022 Festival is November 8 & 9 – registration is open to all.
On behalf of The Design Council, Alexandra was interested in RSD11 and how we might transfer the knowledge gained by bringing together such a massive group of people working in systemic design. The discussants represent academic and non-academic design and offer perspectives drawn from their involvement in the focus areas of the conference. In addition to key takeaways, the roundtable will consider questions that have emerged from the symposium and highlight standout and outlier ideas.
The Design Council is an independent and not-for-profit organisation incorporated by Royal Charter. The Design Council uniquely works across all design sectors and delivers programmes with business, government, public bodies and the third sector. The work encompasses thought leadership, tools and resources, showcasing excellence, and research to evidence the value of design and influence policy.
