Service Design? Design Thinking?  
Service Design is a design discipline in which you use design methodologies to design new services. We don’t want to teach you what Service Design is, we want you to experience it. Being guided by a program and with the help of Design Thinking experts, we design new services in 48 hours with 50 participants. We Innovate by finding new meaning and try out new methods!
How we Jam?
Have you ever seen a music Jam-Session? A group of musicians that just start playing together without having a plan, having fun, creating a new rhythm? We start with an idea, a problem or an opportunity and create from this together with the team a prototype of a service that can be experienced and tested by the public. 
What do I get?
In order to cover the expenses, we ask you to buy a ticket. This covers everything to keep you inspired and designing, watered and fed; pens, post-its, prototyping material, and ofcourse inspiring speakers and a cool space.
