Join us in October for the two-day PHXDW Conference presented by AIGA Arizona at Phoenix Design Week 2026!  
  
Phoenix Design Week is a week-long celebration of design organized by AIGA Arizona to unite our state's design community and provide a forum for sharing best practices, showcasing exceptional work, and gaining inspiration.  
  
The PHXDW Conference is the main event during Phoenix Design Week — a two-day industry conference for graphic designers, UI/UX designers, content managers, illustrators, writers, marketing professionals, and people who work with them. For 2026, we're celebrating this 18th annual PHXDW at Phoenix Convention Center for two full days of creative jumpstarts, workshops, and friendship. With a theme of "Orbit" we invite designers, thinkers, and collaborators to enter one another's circles and celebrate the relationships, conversations, intersections, and creative forces that surround the work and give it meaning. Each of us follows our own path, yet together we create a larger field of connection, energy, and possibility. Together, we create gravity by design.  
  
Two full days of inspirational main stage keynotes and hands-on breakouts. Last year, you told us that you preferred a Friday and Saturday schedule so we're bringing it back for 2026: the two-day conference will be held on Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24.
