The 10th Design & Health World Congress & Exhibition will be held in Toronto from July 9-13, 2014.

The event is produced by the International Academy for Design & Health, a global, interdisciplinary knowledge community dedicated to the stimulation and application of research concerning the interaction between design, health, science & culture to promote human health, wellbeing and quality of life through environmental design.

Herman Miller Healthcare will host a number of educational presentations during the conference, in addition to allowing attendees an opportunity to tap into their “playful” side on the exhibit floor.
