The global community for design leaders
Nurturing design leadership
Since 2016 Leading Design has provided a supportive community for design leaders. Through carefully curated conferences, retreats and coaching programmes hundreds of industry peers have shared stories, learnings and magical moments of connection.
For those that are responsible for leading the user experience function this conference feels like home. This is one of very few places to listen and talk about the shared challenges and opportunities with like minded wonderful people.
Our contributors are from some of the world’s most pioneering organisations
Bringing design leaders together
Sharing the realities of leadership
Design leadership can be hard. Leading Design is specifically designed so you can learn from the world’s best design leaders and spend time with people that truly understand where you are coming from.
Building a support network
Leading Design is a community of leaders that support each other throughout the year, forge deep connections and share collective wisdom. At Leading Design, you’ll rub shoulders with peers who understand what it’s like to lead.
Tackling real challenges
The landscape of design leadership is ever-changing. We work closely with our industry-leading contributors to curate a range of themes that are relevant to design leaders in the here and now.
Truly uplifting second day at Leading Design. We laughed, learned and connected with amazing people. Excited to put what I’ve learned into practice.
Brought to you by Clearleft
Since 2005 Clearleft has been creating impactful events for all levels of the design community. Each one is specifically curated for design practitioners and leaders at different stages of their career journey. This is all in addition to our day job as strategic design partners, working with large organisations like Virgin, Imperial College London, LNER, Sage and many more. We know what it takes to do lead this kind of work and we love to bring the community together to learn, share and grow.
