We live in a world overcrowded with ideas. Today our digital world makes it so easy to produce new ideas or access the ideas of others. Overcrowded is an event-challenge that helps us be ready for this unprecedented transformation in the world of innovation.

Roberto Verganti’s newest book "Overcrowded. Designing Meaningful Products in a World Awash with Ideas” published by MIT Press and released during Milan Design Week 2017 is the inspiration behind this event.
Roberto will be joined, and challenged, by Mauro Porcini, Chief Design Officer of PepsiCo, and other business leaders.
