Design To Shape The Upcoming Years Of Human Behavior

From the interfaces we touch to the environments we inhabit, design has the power to influence our choices, habits, and even values. This session explores how strategic design — spanning product, service, and systems thinking — can actively shape human behavior in the next decade. We’ll examine the intersection of behavioral science, ethics, and emerging technologies, asking: How can we design for better decision-making, healthier communities, and more sustainable futures? And how do we ensure that this influence remains intentional, inclusive, and ethical?
