London Design Festival

For the past 15 years, this event has been a fixture in our calendar, bringing together some of the brightest minds from across the design and creative industries.

This year's outstanding speaker line-up includes:

• Geraint Edwards – Chief Growth Officer at design and creative consultancy, tangerine.
• Frankie Hewitson – CEO of fashion and sustainability consultancy, The Frank Co.
• Rich Cahill - Staff Design Engineer, Formerly Lovable, IDEO, Arrival
• Jack Haslehurst – VP of Design & Experience at AI-powered FinTech, Cleo.

The panel delivers a modern survival guide for designers. It includes a deep dive into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the business of innovation, creativity and customer choice. As organisations embrace AI at speed and scale, fundamental questions are emerging around intellectual property, ownership and the protection of all creative works.

Customer sentiment around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and the importance of maintaining viable global supply chains in our disrupted world, will also go under the spotlight.

From a legal perspective, all are reshaping innovation, influencing decision-making and acting as powerful catalysts. But which areas of intellectual property (IP) are most at risk - and what does it mean for creators, designers and businesses?

Just some of the critical issues being explored during our seminar.

Being part of one of the world's leading design events is a privilege. London continues to strengthen its position as a global centre for creativity, innovation and business, helping to reinforce the UK's reputation as a world-renowned hub for design and original thinking.
