HOW Design Live is Where Creativity, Community, and Inspiration 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. Founded in 1985, the HOW brand began its life as a print magazine. In 2021, HOW Design Live is celebrating 31 years of serving the business, creativity and technology needs of creative professionals. At HOW Design Live you will hear powerful keynotes such as Elizabeth Gilbert, Simon Sinek, Malcolm Gladwell and Brené Brown, that 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.
Become part of a creative community that embraces every attendee, validates your work, and empowers you to do great things.
HOW Design Live has been a destination for creative professionals for nearly 30 years – but don’t just take our word for it.

The HOW Design Live Community
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.
The power of the HOW Community is massive, inspiring, welcoming and easy to join. You’ll find your tribe at HOW: a core group of fellow creatives who call themselves “HOWies.
