Through real-world examples with community thinkers and innovators, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of what the Love Economy is and why care-centred systems matter.We will discuss new ways of thinking about complex social challenges related to housing, food, ageing, and technology, and how we can integrate values of care, equity, and interdependence into the design practice. Participants will leave with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and a deeper understanding of how economies can better support collective wellbeing.Join us as we explore this timely and important intersection between design, care, and systems thinking—and consider how love might become a more intentional design principle for the futures we create.Event SpeakersTo be announced soon...Agenda?: 06:30 PM - 07:00 PMDoors Open & Mingle?: 07:00 PM - 08:30 PMPanel Presentation & Discussion?: 08:30 PM - 09:00 PMMingle - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/designmeets-x-ocadu-design-and-the-love-economy/100001980504576502 - **Event Categories**: valentines-day - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25.57, max: 25.57, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: OCAD University - **lat**: 43.65318449999999 - **long**: -79.3914842 - **full address**: OCAD University, 100 McCaul Street, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: DesignMeets X OCADU: Design & The Love Economy - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7271b7ffa6621c0e9ea528bd4934dca4985f1571cc60ed7d337fa90f9eb5bde7-rimg-w1200-h600-dce992ba-gmir.jpg?v=1768550712 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is DesignMeets X OCADU: Design & The Love Economy being held? - **A:** DesignMeets X OCADU: Design & The Love Economy takes place on Wed, 11 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 11 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm at OCAD University, 100 McCaul Street, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for DesignMeets X OCADU: Design & The Love Economy? - **A:** Tickets for DesignMeets X OCADU: Design & The Love Economy are priced at CAD 26 per person.
