Press Release
CBi China Bridge will be hosting the world’s largest non-profit innovation event in Service Design March 1 – 3 – the Global Service Jam, Shanghai Station – a globally organized, 60 country-strong, weekend event where worldwide, teams of professionals co-create real-world solutions in a dynamic environment to share on a global platform. The Jam targets environmentally responsible and effective outreach solutions to trigger socially impactful processes (e.g. paper free voting) products (e.g. reusable emergency housing) and experiences (e.g. indigenous education) to communities in need.
A jam is like a fun session of get together so people can play with ideas, just like improvising in a jazz or music jam session. But instead of music, it’s ideas jammers are playing with! Jammers will inevitably bring back rich experiences in design thinking and rapid prototyping, on top of friendships with like-minded people.
Mark your calendars and change the world in 48 hours!
