Regular service design meet-ups

Berlin’s service design drinks are a regular and open get-together for everyone interested in the discipline, its methods and tools. Recent meet-ups hosted the local premieres of both ‘Design the new Business’ and ‘Design & Thinking’ – two documentaries exploring business, design and innovation. The March event, entitled ‘Toolbox’ was all about sharing methods, tricks and tools, which are collected here. Please find upcoming events on the Facebook event page.

Talks & conference workshops

Service Design is quite a new discipline to many. Hence its methodologies, frameworks and toolkits have to be communicated and shared. ‘Service Design Berlin’ holds workshops, gives talks and joins discussions – most recently at UXCamp Europe, DMY Symposium and Creative Mornings. Please find recent videos and slide decks on Slideshare and Vimeo. For any lecture or workshop inquiries on service design please drop us a line.

48 h service & sustainability jams

After the immediate succuess of the first ‘Global Service Jam’ in 2011 it returned with a second edition in 2012. From February 24–26, 2012 ‘Service Design Berlin’ organised the local service jam and invited professionals as well as students to create new services in just 48 hours. More than 40 jammers experienced a weekend of exploring new tools, meeting incredible people & listening to mind-opening speakers. The documentation can be found on the service jam’s website.
