Join us for the Service Design Global Conference 2026 (SDGC26) in Germany and online on 28-30 October!

This interactive session brings explores how service design can strengthen Philadelphia's civic systems, healthcare experiences, and community ecosystems and other unconventional service-oriented industries. Instead of a standard speaker lineup, we're co-creating the future together through hands-on activities, conversations, and collaborative mapping. We'll map Philadelphia's service-oriented landscape together. Through shared conversation and visual mapping, we'll surface how different roles, disciplines, and institutions intersect - and where opportunities for collaboration, learning, and impact exist. Join us directly after for a social hour at CO-OP Restaurant 20 S 33rd Street (3 minute walk from URBN Center)

What does the cross over between design and foresight tell us about the world we live in today, and how we might want (or urgently need) to change it?

You want to build a solid foundation for your service design practice? You want to gather theoretical foundations, methodological skills and practical experience? Then this Service Design Practitioner Curriculum is the program for you!
