Open Tech Calendar

Design It; Build It is an international conference for those shaping the future of the web.

Design It; Build It delivers inspiring talks from industry thought leaders. For 2017, speakers join us from organisations including IBM, Airbnb, Brave, BBC, KPMG and Uber.

Design It; Build It 2017 takes place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, allowing us to welcome more delegates than ever before after our sell out event in the city.

The theme for Design It; Build It 2017 is Risk. s designers and developers we know that the best work often happens when we take creative risks.

But whether in a start-up, a creative agency or tech giant it can be hard to overcome a fear of failure and find support to pursue bold ideas with energy and commitment.

Our 2017 conference in Edinburgh will celebrate risk taking, encourage participants to step out of their comfort zones and ask what we can learn when things do go wrong.
