About GSJam

Join a diverse group of curious and passionate people in Vermont!

Together we are going to build ideas to create a better future through design, while exercising our creative muscles and learning new skills. This event is part of a global movement, in which almost 200 cities around the world participate during the same weekend! We will connect with jammers around the world, to learn from each other and share ideas.


1. Why should you attend GSJam? You will lear

n design-based approaches to creative problem solving and gain hands-on experience, all while having fun. You will experience how a structured innovation process can produce robust, concrete and human-centered results, in just 48 hours.


2. Who can participate of GSJam? Everyone and anyone can join the jam! We encourage people from diverse backgrounds to join us and bring your unique point of view to the jam. You might be a student, teacher, entrepreneur, designer, developer, business person, community activist, non-profit professional, government employee, artist, architect, actor, hacker, maker, thinker or tinkerer. You don't have to be a “Designer” to jam =)


3. Can I attend just 1 day of the GSJam? Unfortunately not, as teams use the entire weekend to research, concept, prototype and test their ideas. We understand that people have other obligations, such as family and work, so arriving a bit late/leaving a bit early, or stepping out for a few hours, is ok. If you can't make the entire weekend, but want a taste of the jam, consider getting involved as a volunteer, we're gonna love it!

WE ARE A MOVEMENT!!!

The Global Service Jam 2018 is now behind us, and what an amazing Jam it has been! With each Jam we feel like we are reaching new heights, and here we are once again – Jammers and Hosts all over the world have outdone themselves. They have impressed us, moved us, inspired us and each other with their energy, creativity and originality.
What an amazing feat! With a staff of none and a budget of almost nothing, the Global Service Jam is easily the biggest gathering of service innovators on our planet in one weekend: with more than 80 locations across six continents, a wide spectrum of experience levels and an energetic and inspiring team of volunteers who make it possible.
This Jam we saw the Jammers really get hands-on with service creation: inspired by our Jam mantras of "doing, not talking", "show, don’t tell" and “think with your hands". We’ve been delighted by sparks of creative energy expressed through dance breaks, impro-theater, laughter and colourful props to enact service delight. This ability to combine fun and focus kept us going strong to make the most of our ‘48 hours to change the world’.
And we’ve had lots of new highs this jam, as you can see on our media wall (https://walls.io/i58yj). Our biggest ever Jam took place in Riyadh with 160 people jamming in one location. And we welcomed many brand new locations to our jam, like Phnom Penh and Liverpool. We also had live broadcasts from around the world on the Service Design Show – a wonderful way to show the world the connectedness of our family of Jammers. We increased the reach of our community to new places, new social media platforms and new people. We are so happy to meet familiar faces that continue to inspire us Jam after Jam, and to welcome more Jammers to our growing movement!
A Special thanks to the Hosts and Jammers that made the 2018 opening video possible:
