What are the most pressing issues to creative businesses right now? This year’s DLN Business Forum will tackle them during a powerful day of conversation at the intersection of business, technology, policy, and strategy. From the future of AI to navigating intellectual property to protecting your business against tariffs, the 2025 Business Forum will offer real-time insights from leading voices. Policy strategists, financial analysts, legal experts, creative directors, and CEOs take the stage at Manhatta for a series of dynamic talks interspersed with interactive leadership discussions and best-in-class networking.
Highlights include: Steve Elmendorf, one of Washington’s most respected strategists, on how government policy is reshaping business strategy; Steve Forbes of Guggenheim Partners on the financial impact of tariffs, Adam Thierer from the R Street Institute on the evolution of AI; Colin King, the industry’s most in-demand creative stylist, on creativity in the social media era; Legal expert Nicole Dolgon on intellectual property, and Fireclay Tile CEO Eric Edelson on the benefits of running a B-Corp business. The day will also feature a panel of design industry leaders—SilverLining’s Josh Wiener, Azek’s Sam Toole, and Lisa Montague of Sanderson Design Group—in conversation with DLN founder and Waterworks CEO Peter Sallick.
From timely briefings to big-picture thinking, this year’s Business Forum promises to spark new ideas, forge connections, and jumpstart strategies for the road ahead.
Secure your spot now for a full day of insight, discussion, and networking with the design industry’s top minds.
