NYCxDESIGN is guided by core values of community, creativity, inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable design for the greater good. Beyond our annual Festival, our year-round programming provides a platform for NYC’s diverse design talent, from students and emerging designers to seasoned professionals. Each program fosters connection, education, and inspiration, empowering the next generation to use design as a powerful tool for positive impact and addressing the world’s most pressing needs.

NYCxDESIGN Keynote

2024 marked the premiere of the NYCxDESIGN Keynote series. Through this program, a daily keynote was presented throughout the festival week, inviting designers and brands of all disciplines from around the world to share inspiring visions through this daily series. We’re proud to have partnered with luminary, design focused organizations to bring these conversations to life.
