The last year has certainly been a time for challenges and that prompted the theme for this year’s GLDA seminar, “Designing in Challenging Times, A Shift in Perspective”. The event took place online (for the first time) on 27 February and also marked the launch of a year-long celebration for the Association’s 25th Anniversary.
Luckily the change in format did not affect the turn out. If anything, the audience was slightly up on previous years. The fact that the presentations and discussions can be listened back to any time over the next 12 months also meant that people did not have to watch ‘live’ for the full day if they didn’t want to.
