Hasta La Ideas

Designism 4.0 is the fourth edition of the annual Art Directors Club Forum that explores “the responsibility and experiences of designers and creatives to drive social and political change.” This year the discussion will focus on business models that provide careers and incomes while also driving social change.

The panel features Blake Mycoskie, Chief Shoe Giver, TOMS Shoes; Bill Drenttel, Partner, Winterhouse Studio and Design Observer; Paula Scher, Partner, Pentagram; and Mark Randall, Principal, Worldstudio.

The discussion will be moderated by Business Week Innovation and Design editor Helen Walters. There will also be an online auction benefit for Art Directors Club Scholarships. Designer-created “Walk the Walk” TOMS Shoes (John Maeda, anyone?) for bidding. More info here.
