Join us as we celebrate 10 years of DesignX and a decade of advancing design innovation, entrepreneurship, and impact. The 10X Summit: Futures in the Making brings together our global community of innovators, entrepreneurs, collaborators, and changemakers to celebrate what we have built together—and to imagine what comes next.
Over the past decade, MIT DesignX has supported people and ideas seeking to transform the future of cities, the built environment, and the way we live. The 10X Summit is both a moment to reflect on that journey and an invitation to look forward with ambition and imagination. At a time of rapid technological, environmental, and societal change, our ability to envision new possibilities has never been more important. Through inspiring conversations, hands-on workshops, and shared experiences, the Summit will explore emerging ideas and opportunities, challenge assumptions about what is possible, and consider how design, technology, and entrepreneurship can help shape more meaningful and resilient futures.
Futures in the Making reflects our belief that the future is not something we simply anticipate—it is something we actively create. The Summit invites our community to think boldly, experiment together, and turn imagination into action.
Ten years of ideas, experimentation, and impact. Now, we come together to imagine—and make—what’s next.
