At our exclusive biennial IDZ Member Circles, we bring together leading voices in design to explore today’s most pressing challenges. The topic of this edition: Human-Centered Leadership in the Age of AI.

As AI evolves from experimentation to full integration, organizations must rethink how to structure workflows and teams, develop talent, and ensure that the adoption of technology is aligned with market realities and business objectives.

Our program contains: Impulse keynotes on hands-on AI topics in the daily doing of designers and leads, high level Presentations on the risks and opportunities of scaling AI - from reliability to quality and space for discussions and networking
