A tasty live session
Design Trends 2026: Let's get cooking
Every year brings a fresh crop of email design trends, and every year teams face the same question: do we follow any of these, or do they just not fit our brand?
This session skips the trend-chasing and goes straight to the "why."

Trends come and go. The principles behind them don't.
We'll break down the design principles driving 2026's biggest visual trends in email, so you leave knowing how to apply them to your own brand style, even when the trend itself isn't the right fit.
Think of it like learning to cook instead of memorizing a recipe. Once you understand the technique, you can make the dish your own. (We might have been really hungry when we came up with this).
What you'll walk away with:
- The core design principles behind this year's top trends (not just what they look like, but why they work)
- A framework for deciding when to adopt a trend outright, adapt it, or leave it on the shelf
- A demonstration of practical ways to implement these principles into your emails.
