DMI conferences are the place to go for the latest thinking on design and business. Conferences offer a popular and effective way to connect with DMI’s high level audience. For all DMI conference, DMI offers a variety of sponsorship levels to fit different budgets, and a variety of specific options such as receptions or meals. Sponsors receive visibility through brochures, email blasts to DMI’s 20,000-person list, press coverage, signage, conference handouts, and post-conference video.

 

DMI conference speakers include such luminaries as Tom Peters, The Tom Peters Company; Lee Green, VP, IBM Brand and Values Experience; Steve Jobs, Apple; Stefano Marzano, CEO & Chief Creative Director, Philips Design; Eric Armour, President, Braun GmbH; Philippe Picaud, Design Director, Decathlon; Claudia Kotchka, VP of Design, Innovation & Strategy, Procter & Gamble; and Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO.

 

A quick scan of the attendee lists for any of our recent events will reveal why DMI conferences are renowned as much for the audience as for the presenters. All DMI conferences attract an elite audience of executives, senior managers, consultants and educators. DMI’s attendees, unlike other design conferences, represent movers and shakers with substantial budget authority.

 

DMI runs three major conferences per year, each of which caters to different geographic regions and highlights different themes. Each conference has a sponsorship document that explains the specific opportunities available for that event.

 

The Design/Management Europe Conference is typically held in early spring. Past locations have included London, Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, and Barcelona. This high-level event attracts executives, managers, consultants and educators from around the world.
