The Festival
Each Thursday in June we have a conference focused on a big-picture topic like increasing the impact of design, creating an inclusive design culture and building the future we all want (and need).
These festival days are focused on zooming out a little and are perfect for a more senior practitioner, design manager, senior IC, product manager, product owner or anyone looking to progress our industry as a whole.
Three conferences will cover big picture topics including:
- Design in Business
- Design Culture
- Design Ethics
Digital by design
Spread over three Thursday afternoons in June (or mornings if you’re in the US), it’ll be a combination of over a dozen short talks you can watch live or on-demand, plus live Q&As.
To ensure content is accessible pre-recorded content will be captioned and live Q&As will be live transcribed and available on-demand within 72 hours.
Please note the schedule is subject to changes as we finalise the line-up.
Day One - Strategy & business
Our first mini-conference is a deep dive into strategy and business. From why strategy is in crisis and how design thinking can impact your organisation’s direction, to practical principles to help you communicate product decisions to stakeholders.
