World Class Design Conference - Paris

​The conversations that shape careers happen in rooms you're never invited to. Until now.

​18 design leaders. One day. No recordings. No slides shared after.

​What happens at Off The Record stays at Off The Record.

​We've gathered VPs, Heads of Design, and CDOs from companies like Notion, Atlassian, and Microsoft to say the quiet part out loud.

​

​The Program:

​Track I: What They Say When You Leave The Room
Portfolio reviews. Leadership meetings. The conversations about you that you'll never hear.

​Track II: The Conversations They'll Never Have With You
Feedback, firings, promotions, and salaries—the uncomfortable truths.

​Track III: The Quiet Part Out Loud
Politics, design debt, and anonymous confessions from the people who've seen it all.

​This event is for:

• ​Senior designers ready to hear the unfiltered truth

• ​Design leaders who want real talk, not LinkedIn posts

• ​Anyone tired of conferences that play it safe

​This event is NOT for:

• ​People looking for step-by-step tutorials or Figma tips

• ​Anyone who needs content wrapped in encouragement

• ​Designers who aren't ready to hear hard truths about their career

• ​People who will quote speakers out of context on social media

• ​Attendees looking to pitch, sell, or "connect for opportunities"

• ​Anyone who thinks design is just about pixels
