Service design is the activity of planning and arranging people, infrastructure, communication and material components of a service in order to improve its quality, and the interaction between the service provider and its users. Service design may function as a way to inform changes to an existing service or create a new service entirely.

Every year new talent, trained in service design skills, emerges that the creative sector is urgently looking for.

Buzzkruit gives these young, talented people the opportunity to present themselves to established design companies and potential employers. Who are these young innovators, what knowledge have they gathered, what are their ambitions and how do they think they can make a difference?

Buzzkruit is an evening for cooperative interaction: the presence of design firms is essential, how else can the new generation feel warmly welcomed in the innovative sector?

Welcome to an inspiring speeddate evening where participants network, scout for talent and exchange knowledge. The focus is on service design and human-centred design.
