Design Leaders Conference
Inspiring Today, Transforming Tomorrow
A full-day conference with international thought leaders exploring design; process, practice and culture.
Time to be inspired, reflect and recharge your career and your business.
Join us for Design Leaders Conference 2025 on Thursday, January 29th 2026.
Light House Cinema, Dublin
Don’t miss the chance to invest time away from the day-to-day for a day of inspiring talks and insightful in-person discussions and debates with creative peers, thought leaders and industry experts.
Design Leaders Conference 2026 will be back for a full-day in-person event on January 29th 2026 at the Light House Cinema, Dublin, bringing together design leaders and industry experts who are shaping the future. It’s an opportunity to hear practical insights, talk shop, dig into challenges, develop new ideas, treat your teams and spend quality time with your peers.
This year, we are taking a deep dive into MegaTrends — the global forces reshaping how we design, create and lead. They are shaping our era from new technologies to climate change and shifting demographics.
Join us to uncover how these defining forces are transforming design and where new opportunities lie. Together, we’ll look at how shifts in a global context influence design nationally and how Irish design can position itself as a global player.
By drawing on the strength of Irish creativity and innovation, we’re inviting design leaders to harness the trends of the future to inspire transformative growth in their own practice, lead with purpose and design for impact.
