Black and white head and shoulders shot of Peter Reynolds (Wayfinders, Dublin)

Peter Reynolds’ talk looked at how emerging technologies, especially AI and IoT, are going to change the way we plan, develop, and manage wayfinding systems. It’s about how we, as designers and consultants, will work differently in terms of wayfinding strategy, design, monitoring and maintenance. The bigger question posed was: where do we add value in all of this? If the process becomes faster, more automated, more measurable, what does a good wayfinding consultant look like in five years? This presentation didn’t claim to have all the answers, but it offered a clear picture of what’s already possible and what’s coming next.
