Time Inc. (NYSE: TIME) and DesignSingapore Council (Dsg)
announce the editorial leadership and the formation of a Global
Advisory Council of business leaders and design experts to give
counsel, propose the format, and recommend content for Brainstorm
Design 2018. The conference is scheduled to occur during Singapore
Design Week on March 6-8, 2018. The event will bring together
global thought leaders in design and business to share insights and
strategies for design innovation. Brainstorm Design is supported by
the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
Time Inc. has named Clay Chandler Editorial Director of
Brainstorm Design, in addition to his current position as Executive
Editor, Time Inc. International. In his new role, Chandler oversees
programming, marketing, and the coordination of collaboration among
Time Inc. brands for Brainstorm Design. Renowned designer Tom Dixon
will serve as the event’s inaugural guest Creative Director. The
Global Advisory Council will include Dixon; architect and designer
Thomas Heatherwick; DesignSingapore Council Executive Director
Agnes Kwek; PepsiCo Chief Design Officer Mauro Porcini; artist and
innovator Daan Roosegaarde; architect Ole Scheeren; and architect
and designer Patricia Urquiola. The Global Advisory Council will

and design communities.

Editor-in-Chief Tony Chambers, WALLPAPER* New York Editor Pei-Ru
Keh, FORTUNE Assistant Managing Editor Brian O’Keefe, and TIME
Executive Editor Matt Vella. Time Inc. Vice Chairman Norman
Pearlstine will serve as Chairman for the conference.
Led by the editorial teams of TIME, FORTUNE and WALLPAPER*,
Brainstorm Design will feature presentations and panel discussions
on how design can help to build businesses, improve sustainability,
engage communities and enrich people’s lives. Brainstorm Design is
expected to attract leading international design talents, as well
as C-suite executives, including chief design officers, design
practitioners, Fortune 500 senior executives, government leaders,
decision makers in private and public sectors, and advocates of
design thinking.
Brainstorm Design will help to amplify the global mindshare of
Singapore as a thought leader in design, while fostering new
business leads and relationships for DesignSingapore and EDB.
“As the world continues to increase its focus on Asia, we
believe that Singapore can contribute to the world of design by
providing a platform in this part of the world to grow the
intersection of business and design, and of public policy and
design,” said Dr. Beh Swan Gin, Chairman, EDB. “The collaboration
with Time Inc. will bring together our complementary strengths to
accelerate this effort. We look forward to working with the Global
Advisory Council to help us distinguish Brainstorm Design and the
Singapore Design Week from other design festivals around the
world.”
“Design-led businesses outperform their competitors by 138
percent because they can create value for customers and effectively
drive change,” said Ms. Agnes Kwek, Executive Director,
DesignSingapore Council. “Tremendous value can be created when
business leaders get together with designers in answering not just
the ‘what’ and the ‘how’, but also the ‘why’. Brainstorm Design
aims to be that platform where business, public policy, and design
intersect to discuss complex challenges of today.”
“We are pleased to be working alongside DesignSingapore Council
and Singapore Economic Development Board to launch this conference
in March 2018 to lead provocative conversations and insightful
panels,” said Norman Pearlstine, Time Inc. Vice Chairman. “The
Brainstorm Design leadership and Global Advisory Council reinforce
the conference’s unique platform to bring together the business and
design communities.”
