The International Experience Design Conference has become one of the major events for the design community, not just in China but worldwide. By gathering together an international community of professionals, IXDC functions as a kind of “design diplomacy”: In an era of political tension, economic uncertainty, and continuous technological disruption, the importance of finding common ground has never been greater.

As design becomes an increasingly global practice, and as China plays an increasingly prominent role in the international design community, IXDC provides an opportunity for us to share ideas, experiences, and practices. Over three days of lectures workshops, and informal discussions, seasoned professionals mingle with student volunteers, academics meet practitioners, design leaders spot emerging talent.

By bridging national, cultural, and linguistic boundaries, IXDC helps all of us to gain the global perspective that is essential in addressing the challenges of the 21st century.

不僅在中國，更是在世界范圍內，國際體驗設計大會已成為了設計行業的主要活動之一。將國際上的專業人士聚集在一起的IXDC擁有“設計外交”的作用：在一個政治緊張、經濟不穩定、技術發展也不斷被打斷的時代，找到共同點從未像現在這么重要。

在設計全球化的趨勢下，中國在國際設計社區中扮演的角色越來越重要，IXDC為我們提供了一個分享想法、經驗和實踐成果的機會。在為期3天的工作坊以及非正式的討論中，學生志愿者可以與經驗豐富的專業人士交流，學者與從業者可以會面，設計領導者可以在這里發現新的人才。

通過搭建跨越國家、文化和語言界限的橋梁，IXDC幫助我們所有人獲得在應對21世紀挑戰時必不可少的全球視角。
