REsponsive Conference 2025.
Oakland Museum of California | Sept 17-18, 2025
About the conference
We’re in a new era. Ten years ago, the Responsive.org Manifesto laid out that “The rate of change continues to accelerate” and “The future is increasingly hard to predict.” Today, those principles are more relevant than ever.
Our lives are rife with uncertainty, from the acceleration of AI to more generalised anxiety about the state of the world. This rapid rate of change provides the opportunity for impact. We have the opportunity to reinvent how we work.
Established in 2016, Responsive Conference is an annual summit that brings together 300 executives, founders and entrepreneurs who want to make meaningful shifts within their organisations and in the world.
At Responsive Conference 2025, you’ll discover tactics, tools and connections for how to Design for Change within your organisations and yourselves. Join us and equip your teams and organisations to proactively respond to the future.

What we'll cover
In today’s rapidly evolving social, political, and environmental landscape, organisations face mounting pressure to respond to change with speed and clarity. This interactive workshop will equip you with a practical framework to proactively prepare for change, transition, and disruption.
Drawing on internal assets like employee listening data, organizational mission, leadership values, and workplace culture, you will learn how to:
- Align action with purpose
- Activate decision-making frameworks that prioritise employees, customers, partners, and communities
- Build resilience in the face of external pressures
Through guided discussion and peer interaction, Craig and Marta will share tools and approaches that you can apply immediately in your own organisation to lead change with intention.
