We kindly invite you to join us at our next Creative Directors Forum which will take place on 11 April from 16:00 to 19:00 hrs in the Berlin space @The Social Impact Factory.
The Creative Directors Forum is held (live) twice a year for our BNO member agencies. The event aims to provide tools and facilitate knowledge exchange to help Creative Directors and Design Team Leads to perform at their best in these roles. This next edition is organised by Stefan Pangratz (Creative Director Mijksenaar) and Dewi van de Klomp (Project Manager BNO).
What to expect?
The main topic of the event is Diversity in Design; “What actions can Creative Directors take to cultivate and manage diversity in their practices?”
Easy you could say, just make sure you hire a more diverse group of people, right? However, in practice it seems more complicated than this as the previous CDF has revealed.
On wide request, we would like to explore the topic, share experiences, and get ideas on how to implement this in our day-to-day work.
Speakers Bob Corporaal (CLEVER°FRANKE), Anna Noyons (Ink) and Joost Overbeek and Cees van Dijk (Alleburen) will each give a talk and share how they embrace diversity as an asset for design practices to create more inclusive and impactful solutions.
Following the talks, Stefan Pangratz will host a discussion with the attendees. This could be an interesting opportunity to exchange thoughts and to see how different agencies deal with similar challenges.
