We connect unexpected people, places, objects and ideas in a lively communal experience to talk about design. Emphasizing the cross-pollination of design disciplines, DEX challenges designers of all trades to step outside their respective boxes by connecting and combining non-obvious ideas and objects that explore the many creative approaches that connect all design disciplines.

Celebrating NYCxDesign week, this round table event will host 150 creatives from various disciplines, providing food and drink, and lively conversation for a few hours.

0.1 IDCEC CEU and 1.0 AIA LU will be provided.
