The Event was a celebration of design research. The day comprised an AFTERNOON EVENT
with a QUESTION SESSION comprising an expert Panel and audience participation from
1.30pm to 5.00 pm GMT; then networking (also DRS OGM), and an EVENING DINNER EVENT,
including DRS Awards, speeches and Live Entertainment (Piano & Double Bass), from 7.00pm to
11pm GMT.
The Aim of the event was to bring together past and present design researchers, especially
those who provided the foundations of the DRS with the current generation. It was an occasion for
reflecting and refreshing in an informal atmosphere to guide future action, and an opportunity to
reunite colleagues and friends. It was a memorable occasion.
'Reflecting, Refreshing, Reuniting and Renovating' was organised jointly with The Design Research Society
and the Royal College of Art Society. It had support from the Chartered Society of Designers
and De Montfort University.
