What would you like to know about the past, to better equip you for the future?

As the DBA celebrates its 21st anniversary, a new lecture series will take a unique look at the past, present and future of the design industry, giving you the opportunity to get the answers to the questions we’ve all wanted to ask!


The series will run throughout 2007 across the UK, featuring leading figures who have made their mark on the design industry over the last 21 years.

Through this series of interviews and discussions, each of the speakers will share their experiences of working in design, the highs and lows, the lessons they've learnt along the way and where they see the design industry heading in the future.

All these 'In the chair' events are to be held at the CBI Conference Centre, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford St, London, WC1A starting at 7.00pm
