SF Design Week
Starting today until June 15, San Francisco Design Week hosts a slew of events ranging from events like the annual runway fashion show and a Hayes Valley block party to panels on strategies to increase diversity in design disciplines and the emerging role of UX designers.
The talk on the future of play, which will feature emerging technologies like AR and VR, will be especially interested for those with a tech bent.
Events and presentations vary in topic and price. Be sure to check out their events page to see what’s sold out and what’s still open.
