## AI Design Systems Conference 2026 (March 19 and 20 2026, online)

- "This is easily the most cutting-edge design systems conference out there right now. The level of thinking is incredibly current, speakers go beyond theory to show how AI is actively shaping real design system workflows, with insights that feel immediately applicable. As someone deep in the work and trying to stay at the forefront of AI, that's rare and invaluable." - Tiff Roberts, Design System Manager · Royal Caribbean Group (5/5)
- "I attended Into Design Systems for the first time last year and it genuinely changed the direction of my career. What I learned was immediately practical. How to use AI to streamline design system workflows, how to add context so AI tools actually understand your system, how MCPs work and how they connect design to code in ways I hadn't imagined. The message running through every session was that the line between designer and builder is dissolving, and that's something to embrace." - Elleta McDaniel, Systems-Led Product & Design Systems Designer · CTRL_ALT_DESIGN (5/5)
- "The 2-day AI Conference was absolutely mind-blowing! The shift is larger than it's ever been. The conference was not only inspirational, seeing the amazing things others have built, but also practical, others showed how I can start doing this too. Design systems ARE NOW the necessary building blocks for AI tools, but in ways we've never before imagined. I highly recommend!" - Grant Szalay, Design System Lead · BECU (5/5)
- "Into Design Systems is one of those rare events that actually changes how you work. I've attended twice now and both times I came away with practical ideas I could bring straight back to my projects. The biggest thing that sets it apart is the community feel. It's inclusive, it's honest and it never feels like people are performing expertise. I always leave feeling like I'm part of something, not just an audience member." - Bruno Ferreira, Product Designer · Tangity NTT DATA (5/5)
- "As a design systems professional, Into Design Systems AI Conference was exactly the kind of event I didn't know I needed.

The IDS team clearly puts their heart into this, and it shows." - Subhankar Das, Lead Product Designer (5/5)
- "The content was thoughtfully curated, with insights from top-tier industry experts.

I'd highly recommend it to both teams and individual contributors navigating the current AI uncertainty." - Fulvia Buonanno, Design Systems Lead · Fail Fast Studio (5/5)
- "This conference was a genuine highlight. The diversity of voices, all grounded in serious hands-on practice, made every session feel credible and relevant.

Highly recommend to anyone working at the intersection of AI and design." - Isabella Minzly, Lead Designer · HCL Software (5/5)

Then, of course, the usual doubt kicked in (hello, lifelong Impostor Syndrome…!): maybe I was taking someone else’s place, someone who knew more and deserved it more. So I messaged Sil about my doubts and got an amazing reply — honestly worth more than a thousand pep talks! I’m so grateful now that you convinced me to keep my spot and got the chance to join such a jam session packed with insights and fresh ideas about Vibe Coding! One again, thank you Sil 🫶🏻" - Paola Massignan, Senior UI Designer · Mooney (5/5)

I'm not a design system designer but I enjoyed learning about best practices and how other teams are working now, best practices etc. There was something in all the talks that I could integrate in my day to day work. I'd like to see more talks for absolute beginners in the future, since a lot of terms/tools weren't explained in detail (it seemed others were already familiar with them in their work as design system designers). Can't wait to get the recordings and be able to go back to the talks :) thank you for organizing this event!" - Jeannette Fuentes Ruiloba, Product Designer · Rydoo (5/5)

- "It's been a challenge to connect with others passionate about building design systems in the design and development world. Often, knowledge in this area feels siloed within organizations. That's why the Into Design Systems conference was such a game-changer! It was incredible to finally connect with so many like-minded individuals who share this specific interest.

This conference has definitely had a significant and positive effect on my path forward." - Abishek Seshadri, Senior UI UX Designer · New American Funding (5/5)

The talks, especially those focused on architectural thinking, truly deepened my passion for design systems. The atmosphere was amazing, the event was perfectly organized and stayed on schedule, and the community was so warm and supportive. I’m just genuinely happy to have been there — and yes, Mr. Biscuit completely stole my heart! 💛 Can’t wait to keep growing in this field. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!" - Anna Zankevich, Design System Designer · TBank (5/5)
- "What I love about Into Design Systems is how practical and in-depth the sessions are. It’s rare to find a conference that covers both advanced Figma workflows and real-world system governance with such clarity. I haven’t applied everything yet, but I left with a much clearer understanding of how to manage theming at scale, streamline variant logic with variable modes, and improve accessibility through better documentation. The biggest benefit was gaining concrete strategies I can bring back to my team. Into DS stands out for its focus on actionable insights rather than just high-level inspiration." - Laura Gonzalez Gimeno, UX Designer & Lead DS (5/5)

Also thanks to Sil Bormüller 👏 and Samantha Gordashko for hosting!" - Joshua Grootveld, Designer at Kamer van Koophandel (5/5)
- "As the saying goes, it's where the potatoes are burned. The topics are very up to date and they work with the best of the best in terms of speakers.

And finally, I love the personalization, the 1:1." - Nicolas Diaz Florit, Design System Lead · Liberty Latin America (5/5)

So if you are just starting out in design systems or already a pro, you can find something for yourself here. Great professional vibes from the hots too. Unlike some other conferences, all hosts here are active experts that work with design systems daily, so they are very knowledgeable and professional. This makes the conference feel like a place where everyone is on the same page and you are like a one big team working together, sharing knowledge with each other. I was nodding along and jotting notes for hours straight!" - Gleb Sabirzyanov, Designer & Developer (5/5)

You can expect to really learn from the speakers and feel welcome to express yourself!" - Thais Santos, Sr Designer TomTom (5/5)
- "I had the opportunity to attend the Into Design Systems conference in Stockholm. It was striking for me how well the speakers have been curated. While design systems managers and operators from companies like Spotify and Volvo shared their experiences on large-scale systems, other speakers shared insights from smaller teams. This should be the way at each tech conference so it's easier to resonate with. Sil is definitely doing a fantastic job keeping the quality high at the events. Apart from all my learnings, I had a great time during the talks and met new people from the same industry. Don't miss the Into Design Systems conference/meetup if they are in your town." - Ozan Öztaskiran, Sr. Product Designer · Reaktor Studios AB (5/5)
