DotB&#8217;s&nbsp;goal is, among other things, to look for boundaries and overlaps in design, art, and marketing. Our conference also creates a&nbsp;place for networking, and for meeting old and new friends. The informal atmosphere of non-traditional spaces directly encourages the establishment of conversations, contacts, and professional cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year we would like to touch on the topics of <strong>COOPERATION, TASTE THE WASTE and LONG LIFE<\/strong>. The first one is identical to the subtitle of this year&#8217;s&nbsp;Zlin Design Week, the second two topics are following up on last year&#8217;s&nbsp;DotB topic and also on the issue of upcycling and sustainability, which our studios are currently focusing on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire conference will take place online via the Zoom platform thanks to the Boomerang studio. So to get a&nbsp;load of inspiration, information, and experience, all you need to do to connect from the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2-750x563.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10237\" width=\"1390\" height=\"1043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2-750x563.png 750w, https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2-1440x1080.png 1440w, https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2-250x188.png 250w, https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/d27c3c520be577fc55f2363bfee620c2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1390px) 100vw, 1390px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And who can you look forward to throughout Thursday?
