Join Design Nation 2025! Design Nation is presented by Business Today at Princeton University. Design Nation is an all-expenses-paid, 3-day conference for undergraduate students interested in design, UI/UX, product development, computer science, and more. This year, Design Nation is scheduled to take place virtually on April 5th and April 12th, and in-person in NYC on April 19th. The conference explores "Translations", a theme showcasing versatility of a career in design and what it looks like to be a design leader facing the business, social, and technological challenges of our world. You'll get to learn more about design as a means of communication -- how do companies and individuals use design to translate their message into something that can be understood through the senses? Specifically, our conference highlights how design is applied differently across industries, can help convey a message, and improve accessibility. In the past, we've featured executives from Design Matters, Pentagram, Microsoft, Facebook, Adobe, Google, and more. During the conference, you will have a chance to network and speak one-on-one with these executives. You can check out our Instagram, @designnationconference, to see our past conferences and to meet the team!

We are looking for not just designers—entrepreneurs, artists, writers, and makers of all backgrounds with a love for design are also welcome. Among many other things, we are looking for individuals with enthusiasm, creativity, leadership, and a love for learning. All applications are considered on a need-blind basis, and all costs are covered for accepted attendees.
** PLEASE NOTE: We will only cover travel expenses for undergraduate students from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. **

Applications are due February 16th, 2025. If you would like more information, here's our website and Instagram @designnationconference. And, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Janiya Angoy, Assistant Director of Student Relations, at [email protected].
