DAAPX 2026 Proposal Form
The DAAP Alumni Council is seeking dynamic, TED-style presentations that share how your creative work impacts the human experience. DAAPX 2026 is a virtual showcase celebrating alumni across all majors, degrees, and career stages through a curated series of 15-minute talks highlighting innovative projects. This year’s topic, Experiential Design, explores how ideas become moments—how alumni shape the spaces, interactions, and stories people remember—and invites fresh perspectives on how design and art influence the way we feel, move, and connect. We encourage all interested DAAP alumni to submit a proposal for consideration by Jan. 12, 2026.
