Are you ready to design the life you’ve always envisioned in your head? Let Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show you the way! The Stanford professors and New York Times #1 best-selling authors of Designing Your Life have spent years teaching life design to Stanford students, and are excited to share their experience with INFORUM. Design-thinking principles aren’t just for products and space! Bill and Dave will discuss the "many versions of 'you' that exist," teach us all how to think like designers, and help us prototype our way to a more joyful life. Their approach is applicable and fun, much like great design. Be ready to reframe and revamp your creative thinking.

This mediator is the best mediator I have ver seen. Non-intrusive, amazing, pertinent questions, and so effective in guiding the speakers and the audience. Wow!

A friend of mine just recommended their books Designing Your Life and Designing Your Work Life, and I found this video. What a great discussion! Love their energy and how well they mesh and communicate together. Now I'm super excited to check out these books!

Excellent discussion and topic. Thank you, Bill and Dave, for giving the world a way to 'design' itself. I'm going to try it myself too.

Nobody thinks we should not have health care. Many rightly know that centralized authoritarian government bureaucracy and corporate Big Medicine are deadly.

Can you please bring this program to art/design schools like FIT & Parsons??

The guy with grey suit is not giving the other one a chance to talk.. that's so irritating

It's just a personality thing, but as you can see, both of them are very knowledgeable about the topic and contributed equally. Dave was more energetic, but Bill was more composed.
