Isn’t that amazing?! WDCD returns to São Paulo for a fresh edition of the best conference about design’s impact on society. WDCD Live São Paulo 2016 is scheduled for 13 & 14 December 2016. Be quick, early bird discount tickets are only available until 21 October!

WDCD will return to the Teatro of the Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP), with presentations around the topics of urban issues, cultural consciousness, communication and refugees. For this second edition we have some amazing speakers including Dutch architect Jacob van Rijs of the world famous architecture firm MVRDV, Brazilian super-chef Rodrigo Oliveira, Britain’s funniest experience designer Sam Bompas of the design duo Bompas & Parr and last but not least from Dakar the flamboyant and most inspiring fashion designer Selly Raby Kane.

Among the Brazilian speakers we count two special activist journalists: Aline Cavalcante, a fierce promoter of bicyclist’s rights in the most motorized city of the world, São Paulo, and André Naddeo, who stayed for one month and a half in a refugee camp in Greece, providing the people there with a platform to express themselves.

The internationally acclaimed communications specialist Fred Gelli, co-founder and CEO of Tátil and a university professor in the fields of Ecodesign and Biomimicry, will be there too. And op top of all we’ll hear the enchanting voice of the fabulous singer Xénia França. Learn more about the speakers and the programme on the São Paulo pages of our website.
