Good questions.
Everything you need to know about attending DLS 2026. Still stuck? Email support@designx.community.
When and where is the Summit?
DLS 2026 runs November 17–19, 2026 at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, Canada. It's an in-person event.
Who usually attends?
Senior design leaders — directors, heads, VPs, and senior practitioners — with 250+ in the room. It's built for the people leading design through the next shift.
Are virtual or hybrid options available?
DLS is in-person only. Sessions are recorded for post-event viewing (with speaker control), so you'll be able to catch what you missed.
Do you offer group tickets?
Yes. Groups of 6 or more registering together save 15% with code TEAMPASS. Bringing the team is the best way to turn the summit into shared frameworks back at work.
Is there a discount code?
Use TEAMPASS for 15% off when you register a group of 6 or more at the same time. Early-bird pricing is live now and closes July 15.
Do you have hotel discounts?
Yes — partner hotels near the venue offer rates for attendees, including The Beverley Hotel (10% off with code DESIGNX) and Bisha Hotel. See the travel page for details.
Are sessions recorded?
Mainstage talks are recorded for post-event viewing, with speaker control. Roundtables and socials are off-record under Chatham House Rule.
Can you provide a visa or invitation letter?
Yes. We're happy to provide an invitation letter to support a visa application — email support@designx.community after you register.
Need to change your registration?
Email support@designx.community — passes are transferable to a colleague if your plans change.
