For 8 years, the D4D community came together annually, convened on the campus of the University of Texas-Austin, and learned from each other. Each year – pre-COVID, that is – we’d attend sessions during the day and go out or play games together at night. At D4D, we hold a common identity and experience, and we leave Designing for Digital with shared memories, deepened friendships, inspiration, and new skills.

D4D 2023 is taking place in Austin, Texas and online March 6-8, 2023. Our core goals are:

• Re-connect. It's been a while.
• Learn from one another with a line up of talks from your peers.
• Dive into topics with live presenter-led Q&A and discussion sessions.
