As design leaders step into greater influence, their decisions carry broader and more lasting impact on people, products, and the organization itself. This session brings together senior design leaders who have led through complexity, tension, and change. Together, they’ll explore what it really takes to lead with integrity while balancing power, accountability, and the responsibility to shape culture and drive results. Expect an unfiltered conversation on earning trust, making hard calls, and staying grounded in your values when it matters most.

For 60 years, the Industrial Designers Society of America has worked to advance the practice of industrial design through education, information, community, and advocacy. Our roots stretch to the beginning of the profession, and our members are, and have been, some of the most celebrated industrial designers of all time. Today, we exist as a global voice for industrial design within a broad ecosystem of design disciplines and we celebrate the cross-functional overlap of many creative fields.
