A weekend of design to change the world.

In more than 100 cities around the world each year, design thinking enthusiasts join forces on a weekend in March for the Global Service Jam‘s weekend of service design to change the world. They are designers, artists, business people, mothers, community members, students, legislators and citizens. They meet with one goal in mind: to create, prototype, and publish a new service in less than 48 hours.

This year we had to cancel our March Jam because of COVID-19. We're running a shortened version of the event virtually on October 3rd. The  workshop will still focus on developing new services, using design thinking tools like brainstorming, user research, and rapid prototyping & testing. 

Both newbies and experts are welcome. You'll walk away with new tools for your service design toolkit, meet new friends, and create a solid service prototype with a team of fellow designers.

DC Service Jam is made possible thanks to generous sponsors

This year is different.  The jam is a half-day virtual event due to Covid-19. 
To give you a sense of how it flows, here is how it normally works.
