What we’re about
Design and Innovation Nottingham is a free, regular meetup run by Nightingale Design Research.
Come along and hear talks on research, design, innovation and entrepreneurship, have some pizza and meet new people!
DiNG aims to provide a regular, informal, gathering for people working in the development of products and services to learn about design, innovation and research through practical talks and open discussion.
The aim for each meetup is that people will have an enjoyable time learning and supporting each other and gain at least one practical idea they can apply to their work.
At each event you can hear talks from inspirational guest speakers working in the design and innovation space.
There's always time for you to ask questions, discuss your ideas and make valuable connections over free drinks and pizza.
"I aim to attend every DiNG, because of the people and the perspectives I meet there. It's great that I can meet other design experts, the fresh ideas of students and business innovators. The speakers are interesting and cover a range of subjects, keeping it fresh and with more depth than the other events I've attended locally" — UX Designer

Can good design help save the planet?
UX Designer Sana Fatima Sayyed will uncover the hidden environmental impact of digital design and explore how UX choices, big and small can help build a more sustainable future.
Sana's experience in crafting human-centred solutions that create lasting impact, strong foundation in design research and passion for sustainability combine to ensure this will be an eye-opening session about the environmental cost of clicks and scrolls and the role of UX design in tackling complex challenges like climate change.Getting there
