Combo tickets include Affiliate membership for 12 months. Review all the benefits of Membership in the RGD here. This combo offer is only for new applicants. Existing Affiliate Members cannot use this rate.

RGD Members must have a non-expired/paid membership at the time of the conference to access the Member rates.

The Group registration rate applies to a non-member attending DesignThinkers as a part of a group of three or more individuals from the same company or a non-member who works for a non-profit or charitable organization.

Cancellation & refunds

A cancellation fee of $75 is applied to each cancelled registration. No refunds for in-person registrations will be issued after September 2. In-person registrations can be exchanged for a virtual event registration until September 16 with the difference in price refunded. Substitutions are permitted until September 16. Please request substitutions in writing to: [email protected]. Any registration transferred from an RGD Member to a Non-Member will be adjusted to the Non-Member rate.

In the unlikely event that the RGD is not able to proceed with DesignThinkers 2025 as an in-person event in Toronto, your ticket will be transferred to the virtual event with a refund being provided for any difference in the ticket prices. If you do not wish to attend the virtual conference, you will have 10 days from the date of the announcement to request a refund (minus a $75 admin fee).
