Design between
scale and intimacy

July 30, 2025

5:00 - 8:00pm

IDEO San Francisco

How do we design for both reach and relationship?

Join IDEO and Aperture Venture Capital for an evening exploring the paradox—and potential—of scale and intimacy in the age of intelligent machines.

From chatbots that comfort to platforms that customize, we’ll examine how scale and intimacy intersect in technology, business, and culture—and whether they can, or should, coexist.

We’ll gather in person for:

5:00–6:00 PM – Welcome Reception & Happy Hour
6:00–8:00 PM – Dinner & Provocative Panel Discussion

Our panel will include leaders across AI, venture, and design who are navigating the frontiers of personalization, sovereignty, and trust at scale. Final speakers will be announced soon.

This event is designed for decision-makers and innovators across healthcare, tech, media, and financial services—from both our client communities and the Aperture VC network.
