This year, VDW's core theme is "Impact." The theme challenges participants and attendees to give thought to the intended, and often unintended, impact of design and how it affects the way we live and experience the world around us.

VDW features an array of programming, including panel talks, screenings like the premiere of the Dutch film "Why We Cycle," cocktail parties for creatives, and tours of key venues like the MEC headquarters.  You'll find the full schedule online, with an opportunity to build your own itinerary, make reservations and purchase tickets.
