Program

The full program of FORM / FUTURE 2026, including all slots, sessions, and stages, will be published here soon.

Under the motto “Process & Principles,” FORM / FUTURE 2026 once again creates space for exchange that goes beyond conversation. Keynotes, panels, master classes, and pop-up experiences connect knowledge with practice and people with one another.

The conference looks at design as a driver of change across three thematic fields:

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.
