Chapter events - United States

The health, safety, and wellbeing of our community and space sponsors (ie. Capital One, EY, Foursquare) is incredibly important to us. In light of recent events we will be trying out hosting an online session this month.

Please join us online for free to try it out!


We will bring together NYC Service Design Chapter Co-Founders Natalie, Kathleen and Antonio to answer any burning questions you have around Service Design, our hopes and dreams for the community, career trajectory, our day to day work lives... pretty much anything as it relates to SD.


So what do you want to know? Please post your questions on the discussion board below and "like" (click the heart) on questions you want to be sure we answer. We will review these beforehand and will take a few questions on the fly as time allows toward the end of the session.
