DJ Watkins (Founder) & Chanel Host (Director), Aspen Design Conference

“Design has really become a lot more than just what we do in our interior spaces. It’s what we do out in the world, in our communities, and in a much bigger capacity.”
Chanel Host

On this week’s installment of Summer Playlist 2025, we welcome DJ Watkins and Chanel Host, Founder and Director of the Aspen Design Conference, into the SmarterMarkets™ studio. David Greely sits down with DJ and Chanel to discuss their relaunch and reimagining of the historic International Design Conference in Aspen. Together, they explore how design thinking transforms ideas into innovations that build businesses and change our lives – and how design thinking can be applied to help solve our biggest challenges.
