DMI Conference Overview

The Design Management Institute currently sponsors three professional education conferences each year for senior management in the various design disciplines, and strategic planning and marketing, who are interested in staying current on design issues/trends and best practices.

The DMI conferences are held in Europe (European International Conference in early spring), North America (Brand Design Conference in late spring) and the Eastern United States (International Design Management Conference in October), and each has a particular focus and theme. The European conference focus is international design management issues and case studies; the Brand Design conference focus is on brand and corporate identity challenges; and the International Design Management Conference has a broader focus on leadership and design issues and trends across the disciplines.

In addition, DMI sponsors the biennial International Forum on Design Management Research and Education.
