DIVE’25

DIVE’25, happening for the first time from May 8-10, 2025, is a dynamic design conference focused on exploring the social, ecological, and cultural impact of design. Bringing together over 80 thought leaders from design, politics, business, and science, this conference invites you to engage in conversations about how design can drive meaningful change in society and beyond. It is organized by Deutschen Designtag e.V. and Designtag Servicegesellschaft, in close collaboration with the Munich Creative Business Week (MCBW) and its organizer bayern design.

It goes beyond the basics of design, offering a deeper look at how it can be used as a tool for transformation. Whether through keynotes, panels, workshops, or roundtable discussions, DIVE’25 creates a space for fresh ideas, practical solutions, and real-world applications of design that address today’s most pressing challenges. You’ll hear from experts, participate in workshops, and get the chance to contribute to discussions that push the boundaries of what design can achieve.

As a result, a diverse group of professionals, from top designers to policymakers, business leaders, and researchers is attracted. It’s an opportunity to connect with people who understand the potential of design to shape the future and tackle global issues! DIVE’25 is more than just a conference—it’s a central meeting point for the design community to explore the potential of design for business, society, politics, and culture.
