This past weekend, over 100 industry professionals, students and speakers participated in BLND - the annual business and design conference hosted by the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business.
Channelling an optimistic creative mindset, BLND will envision how our world might look in the future, as well as the work needed to shape it. Over the course of three days, BLND will explore the emerging areas at the forefront of design, collaboration, and the future of work.

2020 was a year we will never forget.

Global Business and Digital Arts student Victoria Vandenberg achieved 2nd place at the annual Communitech Code/Design to Win challenge held in Kitchener this past weekend.

Our lives are increasingly dependent on the digital technologies on which we find ourselves progressively dependent. Join faculty members Philip Boyle and Christine McWebb from the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business for a discussion on what it means to be living in an age of digital innovations – advances that both enhance and disrupt established ways of doing business, scientific enterprise, and everyday life. We will explore key topics such as privacy, the generational divide, and the benefits and challenges of using online platforms to communicate.
The University of Waterloo Stratford Campus warmly welcomed over 200 students on Thursday, with an afternoon of one-of-a-kind planned orientation activities that were generously supported by the businesses of Downtown Stratford.
