The session will begin with a welcome from Sean Holt, Managing Director of Commercial Interiors UK, followed by an introduction from Alys Bryan, Editorial Director of Design Insider, sharing the thinking behind the programme and its role within the wider industry.

It’s a rare opportunity to hear directly from leading designers and industry figures in an open, conversational setting .Expect insight and honesty as we introduce the people helping to shape Design Insider’s editorial voice. After the session, stay to connect, continue the conversation, and meet the Ambassadors over light refreshments.

Join us as we unveil the Design Insider Ambassadors for 2026. Celebrate the industry voices shaping the future of commercial interiors, connect with peers, and be part of the conversation. Enjoy light refreshments as we mark the next chapter of Design Insider’s ambassador programme.
