There is tremendous potential in our world, and the key to unlocking it lies within each one of us. As creators of our environment, we craft technical solutions for use in our homes, schools, and workplaces, and we construct cities and communities that nurture the young and support the elderly. Let's together create a better, more inclusive, and environmentally conscious world!
In order to solve the world’s biggest problems, we all have to work together. In 2023, we focused on working together to create solutions, both globally and locally.
During the last few years, tech solutions have moved into the digital spaces of all areas of society. One particular field that has seen a great digital transformation is the health sector.
With this years theme, we wanted to explore online design systems that are helping us stay connected, learn, and grow in these transformational times. Through this theme, we aim to address important issues such as Dark patterns and Ethical design, Designing for Trust, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Over the last two decades computers have enhanced our human abilities to perform our work, ensure our safety, and even lighten our workload.

How can we ensure that our products and services are good and avoid them being evil? Where does our experience of a service or product begin? In what contexts has evil design been developed? When do we really design good things? Is it enough with the intention that we are developing/implementing good design? And when do we create real value for the target groups and our customers?
