SydDT #15: Designing a Song with Steve Mulligan, Jason Davey & Ben Nicholls. Thursday, 9 February 2017 at ThoughtWorks. Sponsored by ThoughtWorks and Dynamic4.

SydDT is a very open and interactive community. We’re willing to experiment and take risks. For our 15th meetup we decided we’d try to co-design a song from scratch with a three-piece band and the audience in the middle of the ThoughtWorks office.

Steve Mulligan (vocals & lead guitar/facilitator)
Jason Davey (drums)
Ben Nicholls (bass guitar)
SydDT #15 audience led by Steve (lyrics)

Kingsley Jones (MC)
Lucas Mara (whiteboard)
Zoe Rosen (not so steady cam)
Ben Pecotich (roadie & cheer squad)
James Cooper (cheer squad)
Kate Linton (ThoughtWorks sponsor & host)

Before this session our three players had never played together. Steve and JD knew each other, but neither had met Ben before. Steve gave a shout out a few minutes before we kicked off saying he’d brought his bass if anyone was up for playing. Ben jumped in.

The vision for the SydDT meetup from the get go was to build a community and ecosystem of people from a diverse range of design practices, industries, contexts, and roles… to learn and share. To get exposed to what others are doing and be inspired. We're proud to see this in our community - our members are anthropologists, experience designers, chemists, architects, researchers, engineers, service designers, mathematicians, consultants, app developers, project managers, medicos, startup founders and a bunch of other roles.

SydDT meetups are about having fun and enjoying each other’s company while sharing and learning from each other. We keep it pretty casual with plenty of time for networking before jumping into talks, panels, and workshops on a broad range of topics. If you're not a member already you can join on our meetup page http://syddt.org.

We'd love to hear from you if you're keen to speak - or if there's someone you think we should invite to speak. There will be more sponsorship opportunities coming up... if you'd like to be a supporter, please get in touch!
