On December 9, practicing designers spoke at a meetup held in the CONTENTED lecture hall. Their lectures are designed to help a designer learn to understand business problems and focus primarily on solving them, and not on design for the sake of design.

5 speakers talked about where the design industry is heading and what skills are and will be most in demand among designers.
