Frequently asked questions

Dusk curates a full week dedicated to Swiss design principles applied to digital products. Expect talks, ateliers, and critiques that blend precision, typography, systems thinking, and interaction craft for product teams.

Product designers, design directors, UX researchers, prototypers, and engineers who collaborate closely with design systems will gain the most. We also welcome students and independent studios eager to deepen their practice.

The on-site programme is hosted at the Montreal Design Centre. Keynotes occur in Helvetica Hall, with studios and workshops across Modulor Studio, Lucid Room, and the Ratio Lab.
