Program

Explore the FORM / FUTURE 2026 program with keynotes, panels and sessions on design, business, technology and society across English and German conference formats. The conference will take place on September 10, 2026, at the former Tempelhof Airport Berlin (THF).

At the moment, we are presenting a first selection from the program and the participating speakers. The program will continue to grow: over the coming days and weeks, we will add further sessions and speakers and gradually publish the full conference schedule.
