The first Service Design Thinks in Dublin is an opportunity for people interested in service design to come together, share work, discuss, debate and shape service design practice in Ireland. As an introduction to the space, the speakers will reflect on the role of service design in enterprise, social innovation and education.

Everyone welcome, so come on down to hear some great speakers, have a drink and a chat. It's free but spaces are limited, so please put your name down on the list.
