About DFP24
Design For The Public was created to spotlight and support practitioners working at the intersection of design, service delivery, public systems, and civic life. Our two-day gathering featured talks, panels, and collaborative sessions with leaders across public interest tech, government design, research, and community innovation.
This was a space for reconnecting, learning, and visioning the future of design in complex, human-centered systems. No sponsors. No corporate agendas. Just people doing the work.
