Transparency

Where transparency brings clarity.

This November, Natter brings the community together for a day exploring transparency — how we get there, and why it matters right now.

We're in the middle of a shift. AI is changing how we work, how we think, and how we design and for a lot of us, that shift feels distorted. The line between where AI ends and our own expertise begins isn't always clear. This event is about cutting through that distortion, together.

Transparency is about gaining clarity through connection and conversation. Through the people around us sharing where they are, what they've learned, and what they're still figuring out. Because everyone is on this journey. No one has it fully mapped out, and that's okay.

Through the day, you'll hear a selection of talks from different corners of the industry, each looking at transparency through a different lens — different people, different experiences, different vantage points on where AI and design intersect, and where we might be heading next.

Come to gain clarity. Come to hear how others are navigating the same distortion you are. Transparency isn't the destination, it uncovers the path to where you want to be.
