London Design Festival 2026

Geraint Edwards – Chief Growth Officer at design and creative consultancy, tangerine. The impact of AI on design, innovation, creativity and customer choice simply cannot be overstated. As organisations embrace AI at speed and scale, fundamental questions are emerging around intellectual property, ownership and the protection of all creative works. From a legal perspective, AI is already reshaping innovation, influencing decision-making and acting as a powerful catalyst for market disruption. But which areas of IP are most at risk - and what does this mean for creators, designers and businesses? These are just some of the critical issues we'll be exploring during our seminar. Being part of one of the world's leading design events is a privilege. London continues to strengthen its position as a global centre for creativity, innovation and business, helping to reinforce the UK's reputation as a world-renowned hub for design and original thinking. We're expecting another strong turnout from across the design and creative community. Given the event's sizeable demand, admission is by invitation only.
