World Design Capital 2024 & World Design Experience, Powered by San Diego Design Week

According to the World Design Organization^® website, “World Design Capital^® (WDC), designated every two years by the World Design Organization (WDO), recognizes cities for their effective use of design to drive economic, social, cultural, and environmental development. Through a year-long programme of events, the designated city showcases best practices in sustainable design-led urban policy and innovation that improve quality of life.”

For the first time ever, two cross-border cities—San Diego and Tijuana — have been designated as a unified region for the 2024 World Design Capital. All year long, the San Diego/Tijuana region has been celebrating cross-border collaboration through conferences, interactive events, and other multidisciplinary programs, including the World Design Experience.

The World Design Experience, running from September 19-25, is an initiative to engage with the global design community through camaraderie, networking, and learning within San Diego and Tijuana. The event offers in-person and remote panels, studio tours, film screenings, networking events, gallery openings, and additional learning opportunities. This year’s theme is Belonging, with a focus on creating meaningful moments and spaces for radical inclusion.
