2026 Design for Freedom Summit

The 2026 Design for Freedom Summit convenes leaders of the architecture, construction, technology, manufacturing, finance, government, academic, and real estate sectors to advance the global movement toward a more ethical built environment.

Through the guidance of the Design for Freedom Principles, participants will explore solutions to identify and address forced labor, advance ethical decarbonization, and prioritize circularity through a human rights lens.

This year’s Summit is a culmination of the past 5 years of partnership, innovation and dedication to creating a more humane future. Attendees will leave inspired and equipped with the technology, tools, and vision needed to take immediate action toward more responsible supply chains.

We look forward to another sold-out audience in 2026! Your ticket includes the full day of programming, tours, exhibits, jazz breakfast, lunch, a cocktail reception, and complimentary shuttles from our partner hotels and local train stations.
