Design Operations Symposium 2026

Co-located with the Festival of Creative Operations

In a world defined by constant change, shifting priorities, and accelerating technology, explore what it truly takes for Design Operations to evolve - not just to keep pace, but to lead.

This year, Design Operations London and New York are asking a new set of bold questions:

  • How do DesignOps teams adapt to thrive amid uncertainty?
  • What does operational innovation look like in an AI-accelerated world?
  • How is adaptability strengthening design maturity and elevating impact?

At the Design Operations Symposium 2026, we bring the most forward-thinking conversations to one virtual stage. A curated selection of standout sessions from our in-person Design Operations events, featuring leaders who are redefining what DesignOps can be. 

Discover how Strategy, Systems, and Scale converge in an era of Adaptive DesignOps, where blurred operational boundaries, connected disciplines, and resilient ways of working are reshaping design’s role as a transformative business force.


Registration includes:

  • Live Q&A – the chance to get your questions answered by the experts
  • Access to the online event platform with presenter profiles and networking opportunities
  • Recordings of all sessions to view on demand

Co-located with the Festival of Creative Operations. Registration gains you access to both online events.
