Design Talks Change | day 1

Change rarely happens alone, so packages are 1+1: take someone with you! After ten years of Design Talks Business created by the Change Pilots team, the event turns into Design Talks Change. It is the same community and the same spirit of encounter, but with a name that better reflects what is happening on the ground: design as a practice of initiating and carrying out change, not just a business tool. The motto of the 11th edition is "Between". It is a state in which the old ceases to work and the new is just emerging. It is known to everyone who tries to change companies, organizations or their own ways of acting: it is between intention and action, piloting and scale, the need of the company and the resistance of the system. We want to create a space where there is less stage and ready answers, and more common thinking and building further actions. FOR WHOM? • internal agents and change agents who have the idea but not yet the consent of the organization • designers, strategists and facilitators who want to exchange methods and show the role of design beyond aesthetics • social innovators who are between piloting and sustainable change • owners and leaders of SMEs who feel that the existing model is no longer enough • All those who see that something has stopped working, take responsibility for the next step and look for people with whom they can do it WHAT WE PREPARED? • opening lectures and discussion panel • facylitowany networking • Sessions and conversations co-created with participants • a common space for questions, answers and sketches that grows throughout the event • elementy wellbeing • Dinner with strangers • Breakfast on the second day • Plenary summary and reflection moments CO ZYSKASZ? • A new perspective on the change you are working on • relationships with people who face similar tensions and want to share the practice • More concrete next step When: 21 November 2026 (Saturday), hour 09:00–16:00 Where: PPNT Gdynia, building III Admission: paid, registration required Organizers: Gdynia | PPNT Gdynia | Centrum Designu | New Narrations Partner: United States of Arts We encourage you to visit the dedicated event website and read its content Design Talks Change
