Disruptive Innovation Festival

The Disruptive Innovation Festival – DIF – is an online, open access event that asks the question: what if we could redesign everything? Organized each year by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, DIF brings together economists, entrepreneurs, academics, designers, futurists, city planners and more for a three-week long online festival of ideas.

ASU, coordinated through the Rob and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Initiatives, is a Pioneer University member of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s CE100 and will be hosting multiple sessions throughout DIF highlighting our circular economy projects, programs and approaches. We invite you to check out the following sessions online live or on-demand.
