As a trained product designer, my research activities centre on design futures, trends, and forecasting, and have published over 25 peer review articles in this area.

The following people expressed an interest to attend but are not confirmed because we have not assigned them to this turtle:

The reason can be 3 fold:

  • This is their third choice and we have already assigned them to their first 2 choices
  • This is their second choice but it conflicts with the fact that their first choice runs only once and at the same time
  • They have only just registered (this is done manually)
