FORM / FUTURE – International Design Conference // Call for Speakers open until July 7th

Posted on: 18. June 2026

FORM/FUTURE is a new B2B-format at the intersection of design, business, society, and politics. Set in the iconic Tempelhof Airport building, the conference brings together forward-thinkers, companies, studios, and institutions that see design as a tool for transformation.

A program full of inspiration, exchange, and actionable strategies — real success stories and skill-sharing for everyone who wants to actively shape change. Infused with curated pop-up experiences and masterclasses, FORM/FUTURE becomes a festival for transformation by design. 

On September 10, 2026, the international design conference FORM / FUTURE, under the theme “Process & Principles” will explore how design can drive systemic change in business, society and politics.

The conference is aimed at everyone involved in transformation: companies and executives rethinking structures. Designers who want to make a strategic impact. Institutions seeking new forms of collaboration. And everyone who wants to shape change rather than merely manage it. 

 

We are currently looking for speakers across three tracks: 

  • Design & Business
  • Design, Society & Policy
  • Design for Planet

The call is open until July 7th – we are especially happy about applications from within the UNESCO Cities of Design network.
