Global Design Forum is London Design Festival’s curated thought leadership programme, celebrating design and the minds shaping its future.

This year the programme spans a range of topics questioning how design is evolving to respond to the urgent needs facing our environment and society at large. Speakers from all corners of the global design community share new perspectives on how design can be more accessible, inclusive and sustainable and at the forefront of change. These conversations inform and inspire audiences, connecting design to all aspects of culture and life.

The programme is a hybrid of live sessions hosted at the V&A Museum and digital events.
