The DAM Leaders Forum

At DAM Europe 2026 Henry Stewart Events and The Real Story Group continue a tradition of convening some of the most respected voices in digital asset management to share what is working, wrestle with what isn’t, and collectively raise the standard of DAM leadership across the industry.

Join leading DesignOps professionals in London for this in-person event dedicated to exploring how operational excellence fuels adaptability, resilience, and strategic impact.


The DesignOps community takes centre stage once again. Strategic thinkers, systems designers, and operational innovators will come together to share how they’re turning uncertainty into opportunity, driving transformation through operational innovation, and redefining what DesignOps can be.

HS Design Operations events have given me both the foundations and the confidence to grow our small team.
The DesignOps London 2026 conference was packed with practical insights, honest conversations about scaling design teams, and a strong sense of community among people facing the same challenges.
I came away with new ideas, useful connections, and plenty to take back to the team. If you work in design operations or are trying to mature how design functions within an organisation, it’s definitely worth attending.

Attending the HS Design Operations conference gave me the perfect opportunity to step out of day-to-day silos and see where the industry is heading. It’s a fantastic place to connect with peers, gather actionable insights on emerging trends like AI in design, and bring a refreshed perspective and tangible value back to the team.
