DCentred Showcase is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn how design services can help businesses launch new products, build better brands, develop social and print media campaigns, and increase revenues.
The day is organized in two sessions, morning and afternoon. Come for part of the day, or the whole thing.
The morning session is the most relevant to entrepreneurs. Janak Alford, founder of prototypeD, will discuss how mixing technology (rapid prototyping, data mining, visualization, and mapping) with traditional design (conceptual, artistic, product, industrial, and architectural) helps businesses develop products and services more quickly, with lower overhead, smaller teams, in a modern cloud-based operating environment. Omar Hashem founder of Picondo Homes will then highlight how working with prototypeD accelerated his path to market, and ultimately resulted in a $ 1.2M development project in urban Ottawa.
Subsequent to the workshop, eligible businesses will be able to access a free design consultation
The afternoon session of the DCentred Showcase is open to the public and will feature several demonstrations of the technology being pioneered at prototypeD with an emphasis on how digital technology and social media are colliding with artistic movements. While less focused on business, the afternoon sessions will be valuable to any entrepreneur wishing to gain an understanding of future opportunities and the role of design in leading trends.
