Design Systems at Scale: Roundtable

Twenty seats, one table, no slides. Tokens, governance and getting engineers to care.

The roundtable runs over the Day 2 lunch break in Room B, a glass-walled room above the foyer with a single long table and a whiteboard that will be full by the end. A facilitator keeps the conversation moving and makes sure nobody gives a sales pitch.

Bring one real problem from your own system: a token naming fight, a component nobody owns, an accessibility audit that keeps slipping. Each person gets a few minutes of the table’s attention, and the notes are shared afterwards in the event app for everyone who could not fit in the room. Lunch boxes are delivered to the table, so you do not miss anything.
