Day One: Conference Talks @ Fed Square
Day One will be a series of talks and panels by a diverse group of practitioners (global and local) from across: industry, academia, consultancies, and startups.

Day Two: Service Design Open House @ studios across Melbourne
Day Two will be our first Service Design Open House – with studios across Melbourne opening their doors and offering workshops with their practitioners. This is a chance to take a peek inside their spaces, get some insight into how they differentiate themselves, and learn something new from the people who work there day-to-day.
There will be a morning and an afternoon session, so everyone will get to visit two locations. Online registration for these sessions will be sent out to conference attendees the week before the conference. At the end of the day we’ll all come together at Starward to share our experiences (and celebrate the end of the year).
Participating studios include (with more being announced soon):
• Paper Giant
• Today
• Medibank
• Meld Studios
• Portable
• Isobar .
