Since 2019, the Design Systems Summit has been the gathering place for teams scaling design at the world's most innovative companies.
What started as a conversation between a few design leaders at Stripe has grown into the industry's most vibrant gathering for design systems professionals.
Today, DSS brings together 1000+ designers, engineers, and product leaders from companies like Figma, Shopify, Airbnb, Adobe, Netflix, and hundreds of others to share patterns, solve problems, and push the boundaries of what's possible at scale.
We believe that great design systems are built in community. This summit is our commitment to fostering that community year after year.
