Update 1 - dyd02 (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Hi,



This is just a quick update on what is happening to our progress on planning the conference - Development by Design 02. http://www.thinkcycle.org/dyd02/

We have had an overwhelming response to paper submissions and video submissions.

Also Dr Ela R Bhatt of SEWA has confirmed to be one of the keynote speakers. In addition to many distinguished participants we also have confirmed participation of designers working in the area of Sustainable Design.



Though the deadlines for the papers are over - you can still participate by sending your 2 page position paper - this will qualify you for attending the conference. (Papers received now will not be published though but will be reviewed.) 



There are some interesting pre-workshop conferences planned and we invite you to register for those.
