Short newsletter ⚡️Just 2 things: the big question on your mind - will DesignUp be back in a digital avataar in 2020? 📣 And, announcing UnMute...

Time to UnMute

Delighted to announce the very first episode of UNMUTE - the podcast from DesignUp Conference, is on air 📣Hosted by Shiva, the first episode is context setting, looking at the larger picture, and in the next few episodes we look to dive into themes, topics, updates and more.

It sets the tone for what you'd expect from DesignUp - moving beyond the obvious. Subtext: don't expect a ton of interviews. There will be a few for sure, but this isn't that.

Give it a listen 👂and more importantly subscribe, available where ever you go for your podcast fix:

Is #DUp2020 on?

The DesignUp volunteer group met for some soul-searching and the unanimous vote was to not hold an online event this year. Understandably, our signature in-person event for 2020 is off the menu. And we're heartbroken not to be able to see you all.

But do save your energy, save your time (and money) for the next edition - where we celebrate all that DesignUp is known for: great content, great speakers, great food and great networking. In a safe, offline, real world. And it's going to be bigger, better with all the creative energy that you have come to expect - the energy that you bring to DesignUp.

In the meantime, if you're missing the DesignUp countdown - here's the 2019 wrap (more on our YouTube channel)

Our Deconstruct Study for 2020-21 is still on track, and we look forward to your participation. More details coming soon.

Stay safe,
