Design Thinking USA is an international conference that focuses on topics including How to Design Thinking internationally, bridge the gap between theory and practice. It includes topics such as enhance your global brand presence, increase your knowledge base, use case studies to gain a deeper understanding of problems and challenges, communicate better with customers, and improve your overall business performance. The conference is organized by the Center for Design Thinking (CD Toledo), a non-profit organization. The conference dates are generally published in the CD Toledo publicity section and can also be found online.

Some other themes that the conference talks about include current practices in technology, and what can be done to ensure that current practices do not fall behind, and what to do when the time comes to update and move into a new methodology. The use of case studies draws a clear distinction between theory and practical application and allows the reader to draw their conclusions about the issues brought up and draw up their plans to solve the current problems.
