A GROWING NETWORK OF PASSIONATE VOLUNTEERS

The SDN is a strong, international network thanks to our amazing chapters. Since 2008, we have grown from 1 to 46 chapters in 38 countries across 6 continents! These chapters are run by teams of passionate volunteers from the service design industry, business and academia. They support their local service design community to grow, flourish and contribute to the global discourse.

This year we would like to especially thank the SDN Canada team for their amazing contribution, collaborating with SDN Global to host the Service Design Global Conference in Toronto!

RECOGNISING THE GLOBAL IMPACT
