Design, particularly design in tech, tends to focus on impact. How can your design work affect the most change in the world? How can design improve lives? To have the most real-world impact, the design industry is learning that inclusion is key. When scaling digital design requires mass participation, it's crucial to design for the entire range of people who your design is intended to impact. In this episode of Designers + Geeks, we'll hear from designers who are thinking about designing a more inclusive world and how they are approaching inclusion in their work.
Special: we are co-hosting this event with Women Talk Design. Our friends at Ueno have made t-shirts to support the event, and all proceeds from the shirt sales will go to Women Talk Design.

FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
Yes, this event is 21+, and attendees will need to present a valid ID to join us. It's the beer!
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Yelp's beautiful office is near the corner of New Montgomery and Mission St, right in the heart of San Francisco. It's easy to get to from BART, many buses, or your ride sharing app of choice. If you need to drive, paid parking is available nearby.
Can I arrive after 8pm?
No!! For building security staffing reasons, we can not let you in after 8pm. We're not joking - if it's 8:00.0001pm, you will be turned away. This really sucks, and we don't want it to happen - please arrive before 8pm.
