IAC26 is excited to host our second annual Design Jam!
This year, we are partnering with Philly’s Social Justice Hackathon to give IAC attendees a fun challenge that also gives back to Philadelphia. The first and/or second place projects that win the Social Justice Hackathon on March 29 will be brought to IAC for our attendees to dive into the design and strategy for these projects.
Sensemaking may be timeless, but our messes are undeniably modern.
