Programming registration is now open for NeoCon 2026. Building on this year’s theme “Where Design Connects,” the 57th edition — taking place June 8-10 in Chicago, Illinois with a Preview Day on June 7 — will bring together a provocative series of educational experiences examining how ideas, disciplines and technologies intersect to shape the built environment.
The 2026 program places particular emphasis on how emerging tools, such as AI and evolving cultural shifts are influencing design practice in real time — alongside broader conversations around collaboration, authorship and the human experience of space. Spanning three keynotes, seven featured presentations, seven workshops, seven on-site CEUs, 60+ virtual CEUs, 12 NeoCon Talks, 14 Illuminate Spotlight Sessions, four Inside Design experiences and a dedicated student-focused day, the robust lineup pairs big-picture thinking with practical application across every facet of commercial design.
