Looking Deeper
WHAT IS LOOKING DEEPER?
This year at DesignYatra, we invited studios, designers, founders and teams who are already attending the conference as delegates, to take up a Looking Deeper session: Insights, Up Close.
These are 30-minute breakout sessions held in the evenings, after the main conference on Day 2 and 3, in meeting rooms at the venue.
Small-group, focused sessions by design. Deeper than a pitch deck or a typical case study showing only output. Showcasing recent projects and the stories behind them - from where they began to where they ended. All the real real bits in between.
Below is the confirmed list of Looking Deeper Sessions.
