Where the Design Community Comes TogetherA night built around conversations.
Ottawa Design Club events bring designers and creatives into the same room to listen, share, and exchange ideas. The evening starts with time to connect, then three guest speakers take the stage to share their work and experiences. From there, the conversation opens up through a panel discussion and Q&A, shaped just as much by the audience as the speakers.
