Digital Life Design (DLD) is a global conference network, organized by Munich-based DLD Media, a company of Hubert Burda Media.
In 2005, Stephanie Czerny founded DLD as an annual conference scheme. The main purpose of DLD is to bring together business, creative and social leaders, as well as investors and opinion formers, to exchange ideas and get inspired. Since its first gathering, DLD hosted events in New York City, Beijing, San Francisco, London, Moscow, New Delhi, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv and Munich.[1]
DLD Conference is referred to by the Economist as one of Europe's leading conferences on innovation.[2][3] New-media site Sifted, backed by the Financial Times, recently ranked the event platform as one of "Europe's best tech conferences".[4]
The company's flagship conference, DLD Munich, hosts over 1000 guests from more than 50 countries.[5] The three-day event always takes place in January, right before the World Economic Forum in Davos. DLD's motto, Connect the Unexpected, brings people together from various fields and interests, addressing a wide range of topics such as technology, arts, science and politics, and talking about the future and its implications on today's life.
Past speakers include Mark Zuckerberg, Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono, Jimmy Wales, Maria Ressa, Kai-Fu Lee, Francis Kéré, Satya Nadella, Zaha Hadid, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Scott Galloway, Sheryl Sandberg, Margrethe Vestager, Emmanuel Macron and many more.[6]
