The line-up of speakers and events at Melbourne’s State of Design Festival looks set to create an inspiring and thought-provoking event, with its Design That Moves theme exploring some big ideas.

A highlight is the 9 to 5 Talks Program, a series of live Skype conversations held over 5 days of the festival.
