DesignCon is an annual event that has become almost a pilgrimage for designers and testers of next-generation systems looking to get both a glimpse into the future as well as some hands-on help with the high-end problems they’re facing right now.
However, design windows are narrowing, and the time has come to take DesignCon from a once-a-year event to an always-on, peer-to-peer online experience. DesignCon itself will remain the yearly face-to-face manifestation of the conversations, interactions, and input provided on a daily basis on the DesignCon Community. That’s what makes the site so exciting!
With editorial leadership from the Community itself and regular input, blogs, comments, insights, and contributions from the experts “in the know” and those who wish to learn more, the DesignCon Community is a learning playground where members can connect daily and organically to guide the show’s development simply through the technical discussions and insights taking place.
