The 2019 Pre-Summit Meeting was held on 3–5 April 2019, coinciding with the City’s design Biennial, the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne.
ABOUT THE PRE-SUMMIT MEETING IN SAINT-ÉTIENNE
The Pre-Summit Meeting was the next milestone on a path leading to future full-scale Design Summit Meetings.
The Pre-Summit Meeting focussed on the development of three key projects outlined in the Montréal Design Declaration, which were identified as highest priority by the Declaration Signatories in a recent internal survey.
The Saint-Étienne Pre-Summit Meeting sessions were devoted to:
— Establishing metrics and collecting data and case studies to more effectively communicate the value of design;
— Supporting development of national and regional design policies;
— Fostering development, recognition, support and funding for design education and research, including development of new formats for design education curricula.
The Pre-Summit Meeting agenda included plenary sessions and sessions devoted to each of the Projects. Project sessions included curated keynote presentations, as well as panel and round table discussions. The results of these sessions inform the pathway for full activation of the Projects leading to the next full scale Summit Meeting.
Each of the project-dedicated sessions were being organised by Project Management Committees (PMCs). The committees include representatives of the organisations that participated in the initial Montréal Summit and invited experts in each of the subjects.
The committees prepared for the Pre-Summit by identifying working methodologies, collaborators, project timelines and objectives as well as determining resource requirements and cataloguing available expertise.
