Call for Speakers is LIVE for DesignUp 2026 (Bangalore, Oct 1-4). Last year: 300+ entries from Nigeria to Netherlands, Iran to Ecuador. This year we want more richness—perspectives, regions, lived experiences on Design at Crossroads. Submit: lnkd.in/dbG37fP4 @jdallcaps
After Berlin's heartbreak, we're moving forward. Design matters when things aren't easy. Tomorrow: Call for Speakers opens for DesignUp Festival Bangalore (Oct 1-4, 2026). Looking for honest, diverse voices on Design-at-Crossroads. Let's gather & rebuild together. @jdallcaps
We've been called "The Conference with a Heart"—and today, we're heartbroken. After deep deliberation, DesignUp Europe 2026 is officially cancelled. With airports closed and flight paths in flux, we cannot risk our community's safety. Full refunds for all. We'll return stronger.
The West Asia conflict has engulfed flight paths affecting a third of @DesignUpConf Europe attendees, speakers & organisers. Our hearts with the innocent—killed, displaced, stranded. We're monitoring closely and prioritizing safety above all. Choose peace. — Jay Dutta @jdallcaps
Complex systems don't yield to intuition alone. They need curiosity, context & care. Hertje Brodersen (ex-Head of Product Design @Zalando) explores the paradox of human-centered mindsets in growth environments at #DesignUpEurope Berlin: lnkd.in/ev-icxbJ #DesignAtCrossroads
Service design isn't a department. It's a mindset 🌐 Marc Stickdorn (founder & CEO of Smaply, author of This is Service Design Doing) shares how to embed human-centric systems, bridge silos & manage experiences at scale at #DesignUpEurope Berlin: lnkd.in/ev-icxbJ
Type can tell a story before a single word is read 📖 Kimya Gandhi is a Mumbai-born type designer in Berlin, specializing in Devanagari scripts for Škoda, Audi, Google & Apple. She's reimagining vernacular typography at #DesignUpEurope Berlin: lnkd.in/ev-icxbJ
Electric mobility isn't just about speed—it's about experience, delight & design that powers change. @BikashJyoB (Head of Design @Ather Energy) leads India's EV revolution from sleek scooters to intuitive apps at #DesignUpEurope Berlin: lnkd.in/ev-icxbJ #DesignAtCrossroads
AI isn't just about code. It's about culture, trust, and humans 🧑💡 .@tey (ex-Head of McKinsey Design Europe) has led AI implementations across 5 continents. He knows why 5% succeed where 95% fail. Catch him at #DesignUpEurope Berlin: lnkd.in/ev-icxbJ #DesignAtCrossroads
A career pipeline shouldn't feel like a maze. Yet here we are. .@amitpateluk (founder of Experience Haus) brings 20+ years of design wisdom to #DesignUpEurope Berlin. His take: education, hiring, and expectations need a serious redesign 🎓 Tix: lnkd.in/ev-icxbJ
Why is AI so confusing? .@bensauer tackles this at #DesignUpEurope Berlin (Apr 24): every general purpose tech—electricity, microwaves—sparks the same questions. The past holds clues for building humane AI. Use code Ben_DUpEU15 for 15% off! lnkd.in/g7qCM5pA
