Social Design Days

Social Design is not just about solving problems - it’s about solving the right problems together. In a country facing complex challenges in healthcare, education, and urban development, design has the power to create systemic, human-centered solutions. 

We launched Social Design Days as a movement - a platform to raise awareness about the topics and tools that are deeply relevant to Georgia and our region. 

This Social Design Days conference is dedicated to inclusive and accessible human-centered design - exploring environments, products, technologies, and UX/UI practices that improve everyday life for diverse communities.

Our speakers will share new trends, research, and developments in accessible design and inclusive digital solutions for apps, interfaces, and services.

Please see the detailed program below. The agenda is still being developed, and new participants will be added soon.

The ticket price for the full three-day event is 50 GEL, which includes access to all workshops.

Workshop attendance requires prior registration. Registration will open after February 20th.

The conference will be held in English
