No afternoon is complete without a good dose of design inspiration. Ford Motor Company and IDSA have brought Robert Tercek (interactive content creator), Jane MacGonigal (game designer), Moray Callum (Ford's vice-president of design) and Gadi Amit (founder of NewDealDesign) together for a panel discussion as part of the Go Further with Ford Trend Conference. Topics include—but are not limited to, of course—how designers create unique and meaningful experiences for consumers and how to build lasting relationships between brands' products and customers.
