Findings From Doing Design Research on Lift Conference

At the beginning of May, frog design partnered with the Lift Conference in Geneva to do a bold experiment: conduct design research on the conference itself to understand what was working well and not so well about the conference.

Look how well that strategy has worked for newspapers.
