DRIVENxDESIGN Summits

We're looking forward to seeing you at Reykjavik 2020

25-27 May 2020 will see 70 Global Design Leaders descend on Iceland for the BETTER FUTURE  Future of Transport Expedition. These design leaders are explorers, charting out new ideas, sharing knowledge and building upon the collective knowledge of our 40 expedition leaders.

Join your fellow design leaders and take the pledge to be a part of Reykjavik 2020.

Over the coming months, we'll connect you to the expedition leaders, their thoughts about the future of design, the reasons why you and your boss need to join with other explorers in Iceland for Reykjavik 2020.

I will be at Reykjavik 2020 to meet with fellow Global Design Executives to explore the Future of Transport.




On December 1st we'll release the updated details of the Future of Transport Expedition. Below are details from past Design Summits - in the meantime sign up above and take the pledge to attend the Future of Transport Expedition.

BETTER FUTURE is the systemic change to Enterprise Wide Design.

BETTER FUTURE Summit explores the strategy and culture needed to drive innovation and transform to user-centered business models.

Design has moved out of the design department into the boardroom, flowing through products and services to customer experiences – this is Enterprise Wide Design

The BETTER FUTURE Summit World Tours explore Enterprise Wide Design and forecast the next billion dollars of design in each market. 

Each design summit features leading design voices discussing the current state of the market, sharing their experiences and forecasting possible futures. The format can include labs, presentations or discussion panels and are ideal for anyone with an interest in the future of design.

"Meet the 100 people you need to know embracing Enterprise Wide Design."
