On September 19–20, French and international practitioners will meet in Tourcoing, France to exchange the methods they use to innovate within the public sector.

In particular, the event will explore methods inspired by design (service design, social design, design thinking, management design) but also by ethnography, social innovation, and open source culture.

Attendees will include French local and national officials and civil servants as well as design innovation consultants, such as Mindlab (DK), Sitra (FIN), Nesta (GB), SILK (GB), Think Place (AUS), User Studio (FR), Plausible Possible (FR), Talking Things (FR), Parsons Desis Lab (USA), Educore (NL), Aalto University (FIN), La Manouba University (TUN), and Strategic Design Scenarios (BEL).
