EPC Immersion is a short, high-intent travel program where a small cohort of designers and design leaders enters a city’s design ecosystem through curated studio visits, cultural field experiences, and guided reflection. We align editions with major design festivals or anchor design events to maximise overlap with the city’s most active design energy.
