the only event where food, health and technology converge to build what actually works
2nd Annual Dignified Futures Conference held in Chicago,IL., March 2026.
The pace of change isn’t slowing — and the “now” feels heavier than ever. Political shifts, scarce resources, and constant urgency short-circuits our best intentions to collaborate, listen, and create with care. In the rush, it’s easy for dignity to get lost in the noise.
But what if we chose a different rhythm? What if we designed the updraft together - one that lifts possibility, connection, and shared purpose?
Dignified Futures 2026 is a space to explore that question. A call to reimagine how we design systems for social impact - grounded in dignity, powered by community, and moved by curiosity. Let’s learn, experiment, and build forward… together.
This is a hands-on learning experience that will introduce you to what the buzz is all about with design thinking (also called human centered design). We will learn about how organizations are using human centered design to develop innovative oferings. It will challenge you to get out of your chair and out into the real world to talk to people and test your ideas. You’ll leave this experience equipped with more knowledge about how and when to use design thinking and energized to apply the process to challenges across industries, sectors, and geographies to generate breakthrough ideas.
