Last week, leaders representing the major U.S. professional design organizations, design education accreditation organizations, and Federal government design assembled in Washington D.C. for a National Design Policy Summit, with the aim of developing a blueprint for a U.S. national design policy.
Organised by the highly respected Elizabeth (Dori) Tunstall, associate professor of design anthropology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the event had a very strong agenda and a high-level participants list, but... it is entirely off the radar.
No conference website. No articles. No blog posts. No videos.
I am eager to modify this post with some follow-up where people can read more than just the announcement. Elizabeth?
Meanwhile, the Europeans have been active too with a big conference on global design policies in Turin, Italy. An early review was published in Design Week, and next week I will post a longer backgrounder right here on Core77.

Ho Mark,
We had to keep things under the radar until after the Summit because we were dealing with government. Government PR gets involved when there is any media. The Summit report will come out in January, but if you wanted to interview me or others involved, I'm sure that we could accommodate.
