Reclaiming Value: Sacred Valley, Peru Design Immersion
The Institute of Design, in partnership with Murmur Ring and Empathy, is offering Reclaiming Value: Sacred Valley Design Immersion—a four-day immersion in Peru’s Sacred Valley to explore design implications in a region undergoing rapid change and apply learnings to their own industries and practice.
An alternative to standard conferences and retreats, this immersion is curated for design and innovation leaders seeking to engage and expand their network, uncover meaningful insights to inform their work, and find inspiration at the confluence of traditional and contemporary practices.
