Attention: June 2 – June 10 2025
Join us for a city-wide festival that brings together a diverse, global community of designers, strategists, artists, entrepreneurs, in-house design teams, brands and studios. As with any good story, we can’t predict exactly what’s going to happen, which is the point: this is not a conference. We do not sit in seats all day. We move about the city, shake things up, step away from our comfort zones and experience an adventure through the lens of design.
There’s a good chance you’ll meet someone new, have a conversation that changes the way you approach your discipline, and leave with a renewed sense of motivation and inspiration.
