Event Overview

Creative teams are asked to do more than ever—design, content, strategy, social, video, and now AI. The real challenge isn’t learning another tool…it’s finding practical ways to work smarter with the ones you already have.

Join us online September 14–15 for the 5th annual Design + Marketing Summit, the how-to event that helps designers and marketers create faster, collaborate better, and stay current with today’s tools and trends.

Across two days of expert-led sessions, you’ll learn real-world workflows for social media, email, print, brand systems, motion, and AI-assisted production using Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Adobe Express, Canva, ChatGPT, and more. This event highlights the connection between creativity and strategy, showing you how to produce high-performing assets with clarity and confidence.

If you want practical skills that make your day-to-day work easier, this is the training built for you.

Can’t join us live? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. . .

Your registration includes one full year of on-demand access to all session and Q&A recordings, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit the content anytime.
