Information Graphics in the Pandemic: Are We Getting a Clear Picture? Webinar ready for viewing

The Design Industry Advisory Committee (DIAC) is delighted to be collaborating with RGD to present this webinar. We have invited a panel of experts to share their perspectives and to take your questions.

Since the pandemic began, we have been bombarded by data with information changing almost daily. It is a lot to absorb. Information Graphics can help to provide us with a snapshot of what’s going on. How well are these communications working, what are the success stories, and what are the challenges involved?

Design can help us to rethink the way we live, work and interact. In response to the pandemic, we need the skills of designers from all disciplines to develop resilient, human-centred and cost-effective solutions that work for everyone. What are you working on? The Design Industry Advisory Committee (DIAC) seeks to promote design-led innovation and interventions at this critical time. DIAC wants to recognize your talent and the contribution of your team. We want to share your projects to encourage others in the community, in business and in government to actively engage designers in their recovery efforts.

Design Cluster Tour, TCI Network Global Conference

Design Cluster Tour, TCI Network Global Conference

In October 2018, the Institute for Competitiveness and Prosperity invited DIAC to develop and lead a Design Immersion tour as part of the TCI Network Global Conference in Toronto. The conference focused on best practices in the management of economic clusters. It gave DIAC the opportunity to showcase, to an international audience, some vital aspects of Toronto’s design cluster. It also provided a chance to assess the assets of design in the context of local priority clusters in the Toronto Region, including advanced manufacturing, food, financial services, transportation and logistics.
