The 2014 Service Design Jam
During the first weekend of March 2014, people interested in service design and customer experience will team up at locations all over the globe to learn new ideas, discover more about how they work and whom they best work with, sharpen their skills, and have a great time.
Service Design Jam teams will have less than 48 hours to prototype completely new services inspired by a theme announced on Friday night. At the end of the weekend, the service prototypes will be shared with the world on planet.globalservicejam.org.
This isn't a conference or an un-conference. It's not a workshop or a seminar. It's not networking drinks or a barcamp. This is a practical event bringing people with all kinds of passions and backgrounds together, to create new solutions to a common challenge using the tools of service design.
Why join?
- learn more about a design-based approach to problems, and about sustainability.
- pick up loads of new ideas and work practices.
- meet interesting people with all levels of experience.
- have your work and ideas will be reviewed by your peers, and presented to the world, where they can be seen by potential customers or employers.
- design something that may become a real business.

Whenever you're ready, you can register on eventbrite.
