This month, the inaugural Crowd Talks event is focusing on trend awareness in design

Moving away from traditional, speaker-led events, Crowd Talks (opens in new tab) aims to encourage discussions between its panelist and the audience.

The first event, which takes place Monday 21 January in London, focuses on trends – specifically trend awareness in design, and why trend has become "a dirty word."
