DesignThinkers 2008 Toronto

Streamtime is proud to support RGD Ontario and Designthinkers 2008

Designthinkers 2008 will take place at various venues across Toronto with the two main days taking place on October 28 and 29 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).

Join designers from all walks of life as we gather to share experiences, run with new ideas and celebrate the power of design.

“Design Thinking, a methodology that imbues the full spectrum of innovation activities with a human-centered design ethos... Innovation is powered by a thorough understanding, through direct observation, of what people want and need in their lives and what they like or dislike about the way particular products are made, packaged, marketed, sold and supported.”

Harvard Business Review , June 2008.

Designthinkers is the annual conference of the Association of Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario (RGD Ontario). Representing over 3,000 design professionals and students, RGD Ontario is the professional organization for graphic design in Ontario, and unique in Canada with its ability to grant the designation Registered Graphic Designer (R.G.D.), signaling a high level of competence and ethics.

Attracting over 1,000 participants and a full line-up of fascinating speakers, Designthinkers is Canada’s largest, most important graphic design event. It’s an occasion to listen, learn and interact with peers from across the country.

Now entering its 9th year (DesignThinkers 2008 – Oct. 27-29), Designthinkers is a journey into the creative process and a celebration of strategic design thinking.

Philip Sunderland + Aaron Green - Founders of Streamtime™

The philosophies behind Q Brand Agency's method of doing business have reaped rewards for Philip Sunderland's team and clients. But going against convention poses its own challenges, Aaron Green will discuss Streamtime's potential solutions for those looking to run their businesses differently.

Phillip Sunderland started the New-Zealand based agency Q after a few years serving big multinational agencies, with the aim of fostering a new kind of business, an agency that thinks/acts different – free of the restraint of politics, big headed directors and a healthy respect for the hours outside of 9 - 5pm. His vision has been rewarded by seeing Q and the team grow into an award-winning bundle of mates. Managing Director and Senior Software Architect for the Streamtime product, Aaron Green travels the world educating creative industry people on best practices and how to use Streamtime to get the most from their business. Born in New Zealand, Aaron attended the renowned Canterbury University before working around the globe for many Apple-related companies. His travels ended back in Christchurch where he took on the role of building a workflow system for Australasia's largest prepress house. That knowledge formed the foundation of what is Streamtime – the world's No.1 software choice for creative companies.
