Reinventing with Design 2007
The Design Management Institute (DMI), will be a lead partner in the Reinventing with Design (ReD) conference on June 13 at the Hong Kong Design Centre. Partnering with DMI is the Central St. Martin's College of Art and Design, and the Hong Kong Design Centre. ReD is one of the HKDC's major annual programs.
The Reinventing with Design Conference will focus on the strategic value of design to business and various design management issues - ranging from integrating design into the core of business, the management of design talents, brand management, to measuring design effectiveness. This international cross-collaboration will bring together world-class experts to an emerging Hong Kong market, and will increase the dialogues and opportunites of design in business.
"The HKDC is proud to co-organize the Reinventing with Design Conference with the Design Management Institute. The Conference marks the beginning of a long-term partnership between the HKDC and DMI and signifies Hong Kong's important role as a design management hub in Asia. We look forward to working closely with DMI in promoting the importance of design management in the region," stated Mr. Victor Lo Chung-wing, Chairman of Board of Directors, Hong Kong Design Centre.
Principal speakers will share their insights, experience and latest global trends in design and branding, including:
Mr. Victor Lo, Chairman, Hong Kong Design Centre
