Keynotes with Tension
Forty talks on two stages, curated for friction: design systems, motion, AI interfaces and the politics of the grid.
Design & Innovation Conference — March 2026 · Berlin
Build theFutureIn Bold.
Three days of talks, hands-on studios and live prototyping at Kraftwerk Berlin — where design systems, motion and machine interfaces get rebuilt from the grid up.
Why Construct/26
A conference engineered like a good poster: strong structure, loud ideas, nothing decorative without a job.
Hands-On Studios
Half-day studios where teams ship working prototypes with mentors from Berlin, Lagos and Seoul. Tools provided, egos checked.
The Construct Network
Curated matchmaking, roundtables and a closing assembly where the 2027 program is drafted live, in public, on stage.
How It Works
Choose Your Track
Six tracks, from Design Systems to Speculative Interfaces. One badge, every talk in your track unlocked.
Reserve Your Studios
Studio seats are capped at 24 each. Ticket holders book studios from 20 January — first come, first built.
Join the Assembly
Three days of building and debate, closed by a live assembly that turns the hall into next year’s program collage.
Voices from the Hall
The only conference where my sketchbook filled faster than my battery died.
Mara Lindqvist
Product Lead, Hafenwerk
Construct felt like a poster you can walk through — loud, precise, impossible to ignore.
Deniz Aydin
Design Systems Lead, Klarheit
I came for the talks and left with two collaborators and a workshop we now run monthly.
Jules Moreau
Creative Director, Studio Rabatz
