Throwback to September 28: the SDN Belgium Kickoff

If you have been reading our blog, you know that since July Peel, University of Antwerp and Knight Moves joined forces to found the Belgian Chapter of the international association Service Design Network. To become a recognized chapter we had to pass the building phase, in which first events & communication channels are set up. During the evening of September 28, the first event of SDN Belgium became a fact!

Close to 50 service design enthusiast were present in the creative offices of Knight Moves to brainstorm about Service Design today, in the future and how to develop the chapter together. Personally, it gave me a really happy feeling to see and meet all these people with the same kind of passion!

First everyone was informed about the Global Service Design Network, then people were invited to three interactive breakout sessions.  A lot of input was gathered and some interesting ideas were generated. You can find all the insights here. As part of the organisation crew, I can say the night was a real success! Of course this was only the start, but you know what they say: a good start is half the battle :-)
