Hosting is a huge part of Saturday Indesign and this year’s exhibitors are pulling out the most delicious stops, to welcome you to their showrooms.
April 28th, 2022
Saturday Indesign is set to transform Sydney into a buzzing design hub on Saturday May 21. The iconic event’s unique footprint does away with the stark environment of a trade hall, instead opting for the authentic experience of entering a brand’s home. As well as this, like all good hosts, our exhibitors have some exceptional hospitality planned to pique your interest throughout the day.
Exhibitors and brands across town are set to open their doors in four charged design precincts: Waterloo, Surry Hills, Alexandria and the CBD. Get ready to immerse yourself in a day unlike any other by registering now. Want to know the best part? The day is 100% FREE, with design talks, workshops, activations, transportation AND hospitality all included as part of the experience.

With all there is to learn, see and do, you’d be forgiven for needing to recharge along the way. Luckily, our exhibitors are planning to take your creative experience to the next level, matching the creative intensity equally with hospitality. Check out some of the key hospitality timed events on the Saturday Indesign schedule below, and start planning your day right now.
