The Service Design Fringe Festival is a platform to catalyse positive change in the world

 
 

It does this by working with designers and changemakers to deliver events that exemplify and explore the role of service design in bettering the lives of people and the planet. Also by connecting people with others who can support them with their work.

This festival is for anyone who cares about using service design to make the world a better place for all. We do our best to be as inclusive as possible and so will be delivering the 2020 festival online. We also want to do more for the people who are delivering events so our proceeds will go towards paying panelists and keeping the festival afloat. Contact us if you would like to attend but cannot because of the ticket cost.
