Five open mouths excitedly sharing awesome ideas and accompanying hands 'exclaiming' to promote the SDS & SEGD London 17 September symposium (Positive Places) at London Design Festival 2026.

Discover what’s positive and exciting in the world right now for wayfinding and placemaking, from bold, people-first design to smart new tech.

Six outstanding global speakers (TBA) will be joining us.

We’ve also got a brilliant venue lined up: accessible, welcoming, and just a really good place to spend a day thinking, talking, and bumping into people you’re genuinely glad to see.

Interested in doing a talk as part of our symposium? The call for speakers is now open.

Venue: 150 Holborn, London, EC1N 2NS, England [map]

Date: Thursday, 17 September (12:45 PM – 5:15 PM *)

For now, stick the date in your diary, spread the word, buy your ticket(s) @£40pp* via Eventbrite, and keep an eye out for updates. Not able to join us in person on the day? You can also buy a ticket for link access to all six talk recordings, to enjoy in your own time and space after the symposium has taken place.

[* The ticket cost includes attendance at the symposium which runs from 12.45pm to 5.15pm, and the networking drinks reception from 5.15pm ’til 7.15pm on-site afterwards].

We anticipate high demand for tickets for the upcoming symposium. To help keep our event welcoming and diverse, we’re placing a cap of three tickets per organisation. This ensures more studios and teams can join us on the day, and be part of the ‘positive places’ conversation.
