4 h. hands-on workshop
The Slam is a high-powered, 4 hour brainstorming competition. We give participants a problem to solve and business goals to address, forcing them to think beyond ordinary constraints. They leverage hard and soft business skills in a team effort to solve the unsolvable, and a prize is awarded at the end.

The Original Design Slam provides an opportunity for participants to bring skills they have learned at the conference (and elsewhere) to bear on a problem in an environment that demands creativity and outside-the-box thinking. Conceived in 2004, our Slam concept launched design slams and hackathons around the world.
