Design Business Days 2025

How can design drive business value, spark innovation, and embrace responsibility in times of transformation? At the Design Business Days, leading design professionals, brand leaders, and creative decision-makers come together to explore answers.

Curated by PAGE, the two-day program explores three core themes that highlight the transformative power of design. First, Design drives Business, showcasing how effective design practices—from employer branding to design management—create tangible value and impact beyond mere aesthetics. Next, Design creates Innovation, as experts delve into the ways AI, evolving workflows, and cutting-edge UX are pushing the boundaries of both creativity and technology. Finally, Design shapes Society, with designers, strategists, and changemakers examining how design can foster sustainable, intergenerational futures.

The agenda features inspiring main stage talks, deep-dive workshops, and interdisciplinary panels. Networking is at the heart of the event: connect with peers during the Business Brunch, interactive sessions, and the Design Business Night. The Design Business Days are also the community hub of the freshly announced PAGE Top 50. The line-up includes Matthias Schrader (OH-SO Digital), Jeannette Bergen (AI Expert & Artist), Uli Mayer-Johanssen (UMJ), Jessica Covi (BMW), Micha Fritz (Viva con Agua), and many more.

The Design Business Days 2025 are your chance to meet the pioneers shaping tomorrow’s design landscape – and to rethink how creativity, business, and responsibility intersect.
