It’s been a while since our last blog post. This doesn’t mean that we been idle, though. Rather we have been working in the backoffice of the conference, as well as preparing a few surprises for our visitors. First and foremost we have been working on getting the programme ready. We recieved the last reviews […]

The conference homepage is launched this week together with the new logo and the announcement of the Call for contributions. We are really happy with the work Doberman have done and excited to open the page for the public. We have also gained some ground in the planning of the unconference part (Dec 1 2010) […]

The theme for the conference will be ExChanging knowledge, emphasising both the restructuring of existing knowledge inherited from other disciplines, as well as the distribution of experiences among the participants. The date has been preliminary set to 1st – 3rd of December 2010. The date was chosen not to interfere with this year’s Thanksgiving and […]

We decided that the old name was too long and put unnecessary focus on the nordic part. Last year we had participants all the way from Australia and Mexico, and since the focus of the conference is service design we collectively decided to call it ServDes. Doberman is working diligently at the moment to produce […]

It’s more or less dow to the paperwork before we […]
