We’re fast approaching new frontiers of technology, design systems and behavioural patterns that will shape our movement through the world. So, how do we as designers, technologists and startup founders create products and services that have inclusion and diversity at the core of everything we do? How do we develop habits of asking ourselves, “Who is being excluded through our design process and what does inclusive design actually look like?”

The Inclusivity Experiment is an industry-changing initiative to make ethical and inclusive design easier for everyone. Launched at Spark Festival 2018 with a series of lightning talks to illuminate the need for inclusive and diverse design practices. The next iteration of The Inclusivity Experiment aims to propel the conversation forward and provide practical steps designers, technologists and startup founders can take to ensure that people who are normally excluded from the design process are included, so that products, services and technologies are inclusive by design, not just intent.

This event curated for the Sydney Design Festival 2019 theme of Accessing Design will feature leading startups, ethicists, and design practitioners leading an interactive workshop that will walk you through an inclusive process for the design of products and services.
