A morning pulse on design leadership

​Design leadership is being rewritten in real time—shaped by shifting business expectations, rising demands for impact, and the transformative role of AI in our craft.

​Join 30 senior design executives and industry partners for an purposeful breakfast conversation focused on fostering peer connections and capturing a live pulse on the state of design leadership today. Attendees will receive an advanced copy of our latest paper "The AI Shift: transforming how we discover, imagine and deliver."

​Hosted by Gordon Ching, Founder & CEO of the Design Executive Council, with special guest Michael Winnick, Founder & CEO of Dscout, this gathering offers a space to hear and share perspectives on how design’s role is evolving in this new intelligence-driven era—building on insights from DXC’s latest AI Shift report created in collaboration with Dscout.

​If you’re attending Config, this breakfast is designed to fit seamlessly into your morning. Guests wishing to catch the keynote can depart around 8:30 AM. For those who want a more relaxed entrance into the day, we’ll wrap by 9:00 AM and walk together to Moscone Center.

​Come ready to shape the next chapter of our field.
