Design Leadership Summit was packed with incredible, relevant and thought-provoking content for those practising leadership at any level. From our newest to most-seasoned leaders, we came away with ideas, strategies and conversations that have since shaped how we lead our teams and projects.

The VENUE

Tobacco Theatre

Walking around the small street Nes, the cultural main street of Amsterdam is the apt venue for a design leadership conference – an industrial, fresh, raw space with an obvious love for design and history.
This secret location is nestled in the heart of Amsterdam on a narrow, old, street close to Dam Square.

FAQs

I do not manage or lead a team. Can I attend the Design Leadership Summit?

Though the content and programming of the summit is focused exclusively on folks currently managing and leading design and/or product teams, we will soon release some tickets for emerging leaders.

What is the cancellation policy, in case something comes up and I cannot attend anymore?

While the time is going to fly by fast, we do understand it’s tough to estimate your workload, schedule, and life in advance.
You can get a 100% refund if you cancel up to a month before the summit. You can also request a 50% refund up to two weeks before the summit.

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

We’re working on getting some preferred rates for hotels close to the summit venue. We’ll keep you posted.

What does the summit price include?

Your ticket includes the access to the conference, an invite to the summit app and slack group. You’ll also get access to the DLS official party, some way cool swag, and all the fun activities we have planned at the event.

How long should I stay in Amsterdam?

Starting with a community meetup on. Wednesday, May 6, followed by workshops on Thursday, May 7 & the summit is on Friday, May 8.
