Join the VisionPlus Conference 2026 — Where Information Design Meets Civic Life
This May, Vienna becomes the global centre of information design. The VisionPlus and Symbol Group joint conference returns to designforum Wien on 27–29 May 2026, and this year we’re opening the doors wider than ever — with a new online attendance option alongside the traditional in-person experience.
The conference brings together designers, researchers, and practitioners to explore how information design shapes civic life, public trust, and access to services. Under the banner of Symbol ’26: Neurath@90, the programme marks 90 years since Otto Neurath’s foundational work — and what better place to have that conversation than Vienna, where ISOTYPE began.
Expect internationally recognised voices including Nigel Holmes, David Sless, Karel van der Waarde, and GK VanPatter, joined by leading scholars such as Günther Sandner, Sue Perks, Mike, Mandar Rane and many more. Practitioners from around the world working at the intersection of design, policy, and society round out a programme designed to connect local practice with global expertise.
Online ticket holders can attend all VisionPlus Conference sessions (28–29 May) and access The Symbol Group programme (27 May) — remotely and flexibly, from wherever you are.
