Cast away what others have told you can’t be done and push aside regulations, deadlines, codes, budgets and any other obstacles standing in the way of success. Imagine what would be possible if none of this were in play…
Healthcare Design is pleased to present its next conceptual design competition: Breaking Through! We want your most creative, imaginative, innovative, and inspiring solutions for the challenges associated with future delivery of healthcare. Breaking Through is not about what you have already designed – instead it explores what could happen if the usual rules didn’t apply – what is your vision? Plan it, draw it, and share it.
Reservaions Due: February 2, 2024
Finalist teams will present their concepts at a keynote session at the 2024 HCD Conference + Expo. Audience members will vote to select one team as winners; that team will receive $10,000 as their prize and will also be featured extensively in both print and online media coverage.
