October 26 – 28, 2020
Cebu Design Week
As COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc around the world – infecting millions, decimating economies and industries, bringing to the fore pre-pandemic weaknesses and accelerating megatrends at an unprecedented pace, there is a need to assess and re-evaluate the role of Creatives at large and how more, than ever, design and the arts are more essential in moving forward.
The Great ReCREATE is an online series of talks and panel discussions on how creatives from all disciplines all over the world are powering through a global pandemic. Join us as we organize ourselves as a creative community and learn the world’s best practices on how we can move forward at the Cebu Design Week 2020 on October 26 to 28, 2020. Free registration with limited slots so REGISTER NOW! ✨
