Industry Day
Industry Day is Thursday December 2nd, the second day of the main Participatory Design conference.
Industry Day showcases participatory approaches to the design of programs, services, systems and products from commercial, not for profit and government sectors. Topics covered include civic engagement, sustainability, Gov2.0, health, mobile services, service design, and large scale IT systems. International and local presenters come from industry and academic backgrounds.
Specific Industry focused activities being added to this years PDC program include:
An Industry Keynote Speaker Mariesa Nicholas, of the Inspire Foundation
Industry Cases by local and international presenters and a
Service Design Panel exploring the relationship between Service Design and Participatory Design.

Who Should Come? Industry Day will be of interest to people who are already using participatory approaches and methods, or who are interested in learning more about how to incorporate existing and emerging co-design methods. Attending PDC will be particularly valuable for people that:
- Seek to incorporate innovative co-design methods in the design of applications, products and services or build on existing user centred design approaches
- Advocate for participatory uses of technologies
- Develop programs with community and constituents where participation is central
- Develop applications, products and services that aim to support collaboration
Why Industry Day? We know that it can be hard to get the time and funding to attend a 3 day conference. Industry Day offers a single day registration specifically designed for industry attendees, with a programme that covers current and emerging practices, methods and recent case studies from industry and research. There’ll be opportunities for informal discussion and networking, the conference dinner is also on Thursday evening if you want to attend that too and continue the discussion.
Tutorials & Workshops? If you are interested in something more hands on, check out the tutorials and workshops happening in the days before the conference which include: An introduction to Participatory Design, Prototyping in Healthcare, Participatory Design for Innovation, and Participatory Innovation in SME’s.
What’s Participatory Design? A central tenet of Participatory Design is the direct involvement of people in the co-design of the services, products and systems they use. Participatory Design methods are used in areas such as health, government, development, workplace technologies, service design, museums, civic engagement, sustainability, innovation, the home, welfare and more. Methods that are increasingly common in industry today such as co-operative prototyping, future workshops and scenarios had their origins in early Participatory Design research.
The Participatory Design Conference is an important venue for international discussion of the collaborative, social, and political dimensions of technology innovation and use.
