A three-day event for creators, designers and thinkers
Bend Design Conference
Three days of talks, interactive workshops, hands-on exhibits, and collaboration-sparking conversations for everyone who’s curious about how design thinking can transcend job titles and help shape our shared future.
Bend Design equips current and future leaders with the inspiration, tools, and connections to shape our shared future. Our annual gathering in October assembles creative thinkers from a diverse range of practices and professions for talks, shows, workshops, screenings, and problem-solving sessions. And let’s not forget the parties, meetups, and multi-state roadtrips. Now in its fourth year, Bend Design is presented by ScaleHouse, a member-supported nonprofit arts organization.
