The Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency closes the HFDA Academy: design DIALOG round-table discussion series with a video podcast episode. The year 2020 posed a number of challenges for all industries and put event organizers in a particularly difficult position. Design Weeks, which have been highly attended in major European cities for years, provide a great opportunity for talented local and international brands to present themselves. However, this year the organisers had to rethink their traditional processes which have resulted in numerous creative solutions: sometimes only online or hybrid solutions ensured the appearance of designers.
The main topics of the design DIALOG podcast entitled „Redesign: international hybrid design weeks” are the following:
o What are the key experiences for 2020 and what are the key trends for the future?
o How crucial is the role of digitization in the life of design weeks?
o How did the virus situation affect the transformation of international and regional relations?
o What positive and negative changes has digitalisation brought about?
