BID: Believe the Hype

Queensland is gearing up for one of the biggest events of the year as Brisbane Indesign draws closer.

March 16th, 2012

With just over 2 months to go until Brisbane Indesign, the hype around the Queensland design industry’s much-anticipated event is growing and growing.

More than 1,500 people have already registered online to attend the main festivities. Thursday night’s Up Late in Design – which incorporates the world of fashion for a night of sartorial splendour – has already drawn 900 visitors excited to experience this inaugural event.

It’s been 4 years since the ultimate festival for design lovers last took over Fortitude Valley. This year, Brisbane Indesign will return bigger and better than ever with 2 days of exhibitions, installations, new products, creative collaborations, parties, pop-up venues and all that’s amazing and inspiring about Brisbane’s talented design industry.

Join the festivities by jumping online to register to be a part of all the action on May 25 and 26 – and find out why everyone’s talking about Brisbane Indesign 2012.
