Ten years ago, an award-winning designer with a vision and a passion for building something truly different decided to create the event he always wished existed. That designer was Filippo Spiezia, and that event became Digital Design Days.
A decade later, DDD has grown to 3,500+ attendees, reached 280,000 online viewers, been recognised by Google as one of the 3 most authoritative events globally in its field, and built a community spanning 126 countries.
This May, DDD returns to Milan for its most ambitious edition yet.
"Ten years of DDD taught me one thing: the future of design isn't predicted — it's made, by the people in that room. Because we don't just talk about the future — we shape it, together. And this edition is our boldest statement yet."
What's happening at DDD26
3 days. 3 stages. 3,500+ attendees. 100+ speakers.
This is not a passive conference. DDD is a fully immersive and transformative experience — from world-class keynotes to hands-on workshops, from a buzzing Creative Market to a dedicated AI Innovation Lab, from B2B matchmaking to intimate networking moments that have launched careers, partnerships, and friendships.
This year's central theme is one that can't be ignored: AI and creativity. Not AI as a trend, but AI as a daily reality — how it's transforming design, production, storytelling, and business right now. Practical, honest, and led by the people actually doing it.
The speakers shaping the conversation
DDD has always believed that the quality of a speaker is measured not by their title, but by the depth of what they share. This year's lineup reflects exactly that:
Wesley ter Haar — Founder & Chief of AI, Monks
Emily Rickard — CEO, BUCK
Georgia Lewis Anderson — Leading AI Consultant
Stefan Sagmeister — Sagmeister Inc.
Marina Willer — Partner, Pentagram
Chiara Diana — VP & Head of Innovation, frog
Simon Clowes — Managing Creative Director, Apple
…and 100+ more across design, motion, branding, AI, UX/UI, and beyond — including Field, Taikonauten, Bürocratik, Active Theory, Future Deluxe, Snapchat, Not Real, State, Runway, Laundry, Orbeh Studio, Ars Thanea, Makemepulse, Superside, Echolab, Fluent, Digital Kitchen, Build in Amsterdam, Immersive Garden, Unit9 and many more.
