The Call for Proposals (CFP) for the DesignOps Summit 2025 is now open!
The ninth DesignOps Summit is coming up (September 10-11, virtual), and there may be a place for you on the program!
We’re looking for case studies and other great stories or demonstrations of Design Operations in action. The best proposals will cover models, skills, practices, and experiences that have elevated and amplified operational excellence in design, as well as how DesignOps intersects with and influences other operational domains such as product management, engineering, research, marketing, compliance, and customer experience.
