Program
November 4 & 5, we have two full days of talks featuring best-in-class design leaders who’ve led design at some of the fastest-growing tech companies and helped transform design and product at large traditional organizations.
On November 6th, we have tailored workshops for leaders at all stages & roles — for those newly stepping into a leadership role, learning to manage expectations and sell the value of design, and/or amplifying and scaling a design org.

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 do have some tickets reserved for emerging leaders. You can apply for our emerging leaders tickets here: https://designleadership.io/emerging-leaders/
Why are the summit prices in USD?
Hopefully, we have more resources next year to have a better way to localize the currencies for our different customer groups across multiple geographies.
What is the cancellation policy, in case something comes up and I cannot attend anymore?
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?
Downtown Toronto has a lot of hotel options, for different neighborhoods, budgets, and preferences. We’ve also partnered with Marriott’s Westin Harbour Castle (a 4-star hotel right on the Ontario Lake) and located close to CN tower and other tourist attractions, to get you exclusive discounted prices. Email us and we can pass on the details to you.
