The design industry is certainly developing at an ever accelerating pace. Professionals are faced with having to meet rising expectations, rising awareness, rising levels of quality and rising requirements of responsibility.

How are we going to meet the challenge? Where do we look as we rush headlong into the future? What can we learn from the past? How do we prepare ourselves and future generations of designers to be able to handle the growing demands? How do we maintain our leadership role in our approach to design? Are we ahead of developments in the design world today?

PIDC 2008 will address these questions and more, to stimulate thought about who we are on the design journey. Is our future wide open? And is it truly in our hands to define?
