About the event

What is Behavioural Design Fest all about?

Have you ever wondered how you can more effectively influence minds and shape behaviour?

Most of the things we do as humans have the ultimate aim of influencing the behaviour of others. Whether you are designing policies, designing communications, designing experiences, designing environments, or designing products, everyone is ultimately trying to shape perception and shape behaviour.

Maybe you want to influence the behaviour of your children, or your colleagues. Maybe you want to influence customer behaviour, or win elections. Perhaps you just want to develop a more sustainable lifestyle for yourself.  No matter what the scenario, Behavioural Design is the method you need. It will give you a deep understanding into how people think and why they make decisions, which will in turn allow you to design interventions that lead to genuine and positive behavioural change.

Behavioural Design Fest features the best minds in this fascinating and emerging field, from the worlds of academia, business, social change, politics, science and entertainment. The common theme across all the speakers is how they use their deep human understanding to create better products, services and experiences.

You will leave full of inspiration from people outside your usual domain, and you will become better at what you do – whether you work in management, leadership, politics, fundraising, marketing design, hospitality, anything!

So, leave your laptop at home, leave your smartphone alone, and get ready to be inspired at a real-life event again, with a full day of learning from experts in a unique range of disciplines.

What makes us different from all other events is that everything we show you is firmly rooted in practice. We are a unique combination of a Behavioural Design Academy and Behavioural Design Consultancy. Everything we learn in our work with clients is injected into Fest. That's how you can be sure that the know-how is up to date and relevant. The speakers are also 100% practitioners.
