Welcome!
For our upcoming Smashing Meets Design Systems 2026, our friendly host Geoff will welcome you and quickly explain how the event will run. We can’t wait to meet you!
Better Culture = Better System.
Design Systems are great, but often don't work as well as anticipated. Why is that?
In this talk, design system expert, consultant and author Ben shows that (a good understanding of business) culture is often the missing link in making design systems work for you. And you have much more influence on its success than you might think!
Amazing talk
Amazing talk about Design Systems coming very soon. We'll keep you posted!
Break
Time for a quick break to stretch those legs, give your brain a rest and get that coffee.
Beats to Buttons, the Design System of DJ’ing
Even though it might sound like a stretch, there is so much overlap between DJ-ing and Design Systems. In this talk, Samantha will go into the various aspects that make or break a good design system and DJ set, and what we all can learn from this!
Panel Discussion
Let's take a little time to discuss all that we have heard, together. Bring your questions, and let's get the discussion going!
Goodbye!
What? The End? Ownoos. But hopefully you have learned something in the process. And luckily there are always the videos, the slides, the collaborative docs, and more. We’ll send them your way shortly. Thank you for joining us & see you again soon! ⛱
