For all those feeling the winter blues, we’ve got some good news for you! The industry’s most loved event is on its way to Melbourne, marking the start of spring with a fresh hit of design inspiration. So circle Saturday the 2nd of September in your calendars, rally your design colleagues and start dreaming of an early spring with Saturday Indesign.
For those in the know, Saturday Indesign is a stalwart of the Australian design industry, a wholly unique event that’s been drawing crowds since 2002. If you’re not familiar with the concept, think of a trade show and then invert it. Saturday Indesign brings you all the best design brands but showcases them from their own showrooms, meaning you get the density of a show with all the personality, hospitality and fun of a design festival.
You’ll spend the day moving around Melbourne (walk, uber, lime bike or take advantage of our dedicated hop-on/hop-off bus service), visiting the country’s best showrooms to see the latest products, tune into design talks, engage with activations and connect with your design peers from across the state, the country and beyond.
To start planning your adventure, we’ve got the first drop of exhibitors here just for you. Dive into the line-up and register for free now to confirm your Saturday Indesign attendance. Now is your chance to lock in your place at the must-visit event of 2023!
