On June 1, the service design community will come together in recognition of Service Design Day, an occasion designed to acknowledge the power of service design, especially in these challenging times.
This last year has been both challenging for many, and a turning point for under-respected communities’ liberation. As designers in a post-pandemic world, we play a critical role in influencing both local and global change through our craft. So, where do we begin?

Celebrate Service Design Day!
On May 20th 2026, we are holding a special event connected to the publication of the most recent issue of Touchpoint, the journal of service design: Touchpoint Vol.17 No. 1 | From AI to Synthetic Services.
Connect, Collaborate, and Create Change – SDGC26 Awaits! Join us in Wiesbaden, Germany and online, 28–30 October. Registration is open, with Early Bird tickets on sale until May 15.
AI continues to disrupt our work as service designers, fundamentally changing the way we design, deliver and analyse services. The advances are rapid as well, presenting new opportunities while at the same time forcing us to answer some challenging questions on where and how its capabilities are deployed. This issue of Touchpoint answers an ongoing need in our community to learn from each other - as well as those outside our field - to confidently apply AI, as well as know where it should be avoided.
We are pleased to announce that the call for papers for Touchpoint Vol. 17 No. 3 is now open.
