A two-day hybrid event exploring the issues, methods, philosophies, and strategies of design leadership.

Focus

Now that we live in a world where work is no longer tied to being in a workplace, how does this impact our ability to lead our design practices and support teams? This year we want to explore themes of wellbeing, resilience, and hybrid ways of working. Learn more.

Why go?

Design leaders have had to adapt to changing ways of working over the last few years and our working lives are altered in irreversible ways, but we have also made space for new ideas and innovations.

This Sydney-based event is an opportunity to connect in person, expand your expertise beyond your immediate network and tap into new experiences and ideas. And when you view design and leadership through a fresh lens, it can lead to innovation and progress in your own work.

If you choose to attend in-person, you’ll connect with local design leaders working in Australia’s thriving and expanding digital community. Make connections that will last and have conversations you’ll never forget.
