Hosted by WDO Promotional Member Design Council, the 34th World Design Congress and WDO General Assembly will take place in London (United Kingdom), some 50 years after the event was last hosted in the city in 1969. Set for 9-11 September 2025, the three-day event will gather the international design community and thought leaders from business, research and education to explore the theme of ‘Design for Planet’.

The congress will run in conjunction with the London Design Festival, showcasing some of the most innovative design solutions from British designers and highlighting the importance of putting the planet at the heart of our design work.
