You weren't trained for this part.

Design school taught you craft. It didn't teach you how to navigate a room full of stakeholders with conflicting priorities. It didn't teach you how to measure impact, defend a roadmap, or lead a team through uncertainty.

Whether you're a designer trying to grow your influence inside a complex organization, a new manager figuring out how to lead people instead of projects, or a senior leader keeping your team aligned while AI reshapes everything... you're facing challenges nobody prepared you for.

That's where Ateliers comes from.

After two days of intense learning, and growing your network you will:

Walk into your next meeting with a clear point of view and the language to back it up.

Led by people who've been where you are

Mix and match workshops and classes with experienced design leaders and trainers that help lead designers and managers get to the right stage.

We’ve chosen some of the most beautiful venues in cities that live and breathe Design. Announcements in November 2025 and January 2026.

How It Works

Most conferences leave you inspired but uncertain what to do next. Ateliers are designed for depth, clarity, and action. You’ll leave with frameworks you’ve actually practiced, not just heard about.

Most conferences leave you inspired but uncertain what to do next. Ateliers are designed for depth, clarity, and action. You’ll leave with frameworks you’ve actually practiced, not just heard about.

Pick the event that matches where you are

Each city is designed for a specific stage of the design career journey, from ambitious designers in Barcelona to senior leaders in Amsterdam. Choose the one where you'll get the most value.

Forget the crowded auditoriums and name tags that go unread.

Ateliers are limited to 50-80 participants intentionally.

Spend 2 days learning, building, and connecting

Small-group workshops (under 20 people), masterclasses, and peer masterminds in stunning venues. No passive keynotes. Every session is hands-on, and every conversation counts.

You’re not here to take notes you’re here to participate.

Every session is hands-on, guided by facilitators who coach, challenge, and listen.

Leave with a plan, and a renewed network of peers

You won't leave with notes that gather dust. You'll leave with concrete frameworks, 90-day action plans, and a peer network of 50-80 design professionals across Europe who face the same challenges you do.

Ateliers aren’t built for everyone: they’re built for you. Each edition focuses on particular industries and stages of leadership, with sessions and facilitators tailored to that moment.

Our previous editions sold out every year.
