    IMDES 2023 was both challenging and exciting. The discussions on human-centered design and digital transformation were highly relevant to my industry experience, and I appreciated the academic insights that I wouldn’t typically encounter in my professional work. It was a fantastic opportunity to bridge industry practices with academic discourse.
