Participatory Design (PD) is a diverse collection of principles and
practices aimed at making technologies, tools, environments, businesses, and
social institutions more responsive to human needs. A central tenet of PD is
the direct involvement of people in the co-design of things and technologies
they use.

Participatory Design Conferences have been held every two years since 1990
and have formed an important venue for international discussion of the
collaborative, social, and political dimensions of technology innovation and
use. The conference theme for PDC 2008 is Experiences and Challenges. It
will be the 10th PDC and a golden opportunity to reassess the achievements
of the PD movement and to consider its future. We invite you to reflect on
past experiences and review the important lessons we have learned so as to
better meet the new challenges of the future. What are the important trends,
phenomena, developments, and views on participation and design etc., which
in so many different ways challenge our traditions, our experiences and/or
the current 'wisdom' within the field?
