HOW Design Live is Where Inspiration, Community, and Creativity Converge.
We believe that design is powerful, inclusive and can change the world.
HOW Design Live brings together some of the most remarkable design thinkers of our time and innovative design leaders to inspire and educate our community of makers, thinkers and creators.

At HOW Design Live powerful keynotes have taken the stage in the past such as Elizabeth Gilbert, Simon Sinek, Malcolm Gladwell and Brené Brown. These speakers represent some of the best creative minds in the world! Experience a truly global happening, with nearly 3,000 attendees from every state in the U.S. and dozens of countries around the world.

The HOW Design Live Community
HOW Design Live is where inspiration, community and creativity converge in a 3-day event that you can’t afford to miss. Founded in 1985, the HOW brand began its life as a print magazine. In 2022, HOW Design Live is celebrating 32 years of serving the business, creativity and technology needs of creative professionals.
HOW Design Live is all about connections. Every year, relationships form organically among HOW Design Live attendees, and even among attendees and speakers—relationships that lead to opportunities and lifelong friendships.
