The Service Design Global Conference (SDGC) is heading our way at pace and its now only a month until the mass ranks of over 1,000 service designers make their way to Finland for three days talk, studio visits and sauna.
In this bonus episode SDN's David Russo gives us a guided tour of the venue, keynote speakers and SDN sauna etiquette (towels on vs. towels off*).
This year SDGC will focus on Designing for Impact: "Strategic Leadership with Service Design”. Focusing on outcomes over output, we use our tools to move the needle for organisations, leading to real, recognised value.
Over the next weeks we'll be launching a series of #SDGC24 bonus episodes to fan the flames of excitement as we ramp up to conference frenzy.
We look forward to seeing you all in Helsinki.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
