Leading Design Conferences

The Leading Design conference is a sell-out event for people leading design teams, overseeing design direction, or championing a culture of design within their organisations.

Conferences are held in both the UK and the US and have hosted a diverse group of speakers from the likes of Spotify, Amazon, Adobe and Condé Nast.

Leading Design Coaching

Leading Design group coaching is a 10 week programme for mid to senior designer leaders.

With the help of some professional coaching experts, we guide a small cohort of design leaders through a series of five online group coaching sessions to meet new people in similar roles, form deeper bonds, and create a support network that extends well beyond the programme duration.

dConstruct

dConstruct

dConstruct was one of the UK's first tech conferences and remained well-loved for over a decade. Way back in the beginning we created it as a forum for eclectic, interesting and informative ideas for designers and makers. We brought together speakers who had important opinions and ideas to share with the tech world; from talks about empathic toasters, to studies of sci-fi interfaces, to strong and serious warnings about how to design for climate change, dConstruct offered annual food for thought to the design and tech industry.
