Design in Dialogue: Connect + Transform

16 - 21 November 2026

Unlock the limitless potential of dialogue. Switzerland’s rich multilingual culture has fostered numerous globally recognised achievements in design and innovation, all stemming from collaborative dialogue that has shaped different eras while respecting heritage. This synergy has forged a resilient ecosystem that continues to lead the way. 

 

At Business of Design Week (BODW) 2026, we move beyond the conversation. Inspired by the Swiss legacy, our focus is strictly on action: uniting diverse disciplines and stakeholders to turn dialogue into reality—sharing innovative ideas and converting insights into practical pilots, strategic partnerships, and meaningful impact for business and society. 

 

Save the dates for the BODW 2026 Summit, November 18-20, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, where dialogue connects and transforms.
