FORM / FUTURE 2026 is looking for people who are already shaping change and want to talk about it. In keynotes, panels, and talks. Openly, concretely, with real cases and unfinished thoughts.

We are looking for genuine discourse, real cases, and innovative methods, processes, and perspectives. We want to show how the future can be shaped right now. To celebrate companies already doing this. And to hear from people who bring expertise, confidence, and a genuine joy in designing a desirable future.

We welcome applications across three tracks:

• Design & Business: Design as a leadership and organizational strategy, new business models and professional profiles, structural changes in the world of work driven by technological progress and organizational innovation.
• Design, Society & Policy: Design as a systemic competency for shaping society and politics, encompassing participation, future scenarios, and sustainable economic and living conditions.
• Design for Planet: From human-centered to human-made design, from convenience to imperfection, from the SDGs to self-reflection. Design at the intersection of the circular economy, new materials, and new perspectives and values.

Application Deadline: Tuesday, 07 July 2026
