QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
World Interaction Design Day is a global celebration of interaction design impact on improving the human condition. Presented in partnership by Adobe and the Interaction Design Association, events take place in communities across the world one day in September each year. This includes presentations, workshops, and design showcases focused on elevating the work of interaction designers, and knowledge sharing.
The theme for 2019 was trust and responsibility. The theme challenged the interaction design community to explore their impact on trust and responsibility in their work, workplace, communities, and beyond.
World Interaction Design Day is first-and-foremost for interaction designers; events will focus on the practice of creating interactive digital products, environments, and services. If you're not an interaction designer, you're still very welcome to attend an event; developers, academics, students, and designers from other discipline will certainly find many of our events interesting and empowering.
