About the Event

Note: This session is a learning opportunity, not a critique of Uber’s work. We understand the complexity and evolving nature of design system adoption—especially at the scale of global products—and are intentionally not inviting Base Design System team members to maintain an unbiased, open learning environment focused on discovery and learning.
