WantedDesign Manhattan Online Conversation Series

WantedDesign partners with Design Milk + Clever to keep WantedDesign Manhattan Conversation series alive!

In response to the cancellation of the 2020 fair, we put together an online program with new episodes of Clever podcast and live talks, between May 11 and May 22, 2020.

“At first, when we heard about the cancellation of WantedDesign Manhattan. we were sad, we had LIVE episodes planned, and we looked forward to seeing all our friends and absorbing all of the latest design inspiration – it’s an important hub of connectivity and community for the design industry. Then we got fired up. We couldn’t just stand by and not do anything about this – so, Clever, already adept at remote recording and digital distribution, is working closely with WantedDesign Manhattan and Design Milk to keep the Conversation Series alive!” – Amy Devers, co-founder Clever (pictured above)

“Now, more than ever, it’s important to use our voices to connect with each other. While the events have been cancelled, Design Milk is excited to be able to continue working with WantedDesign and Clever to develop an engaging and exciting online conversation series. We can’t wait for you to hear it!” Jaime Derringer, founder Design Milk
