FRONT.design returns for its second edition, 29-30 August at Barangaroo, Sydney to present a program that is both business-oriented and learning-driven. Here’s everything you need to know about FRONT.design 2019.
FRONT.design is a one-of-its-kind boutique specifier event catering to Australian commercial design sectors – from workplace to hospitality, education and healthcare. Through its multi-faceted program, FRONT.design 2019 facilitates profound connections with every link in the specification chain, from developer to designer, architect, project manager, consultant and end-user. The program features over 40 of the country’s most prominent architectural and design suppliers – browse the full list here. For attendees, this means an opportunity to sample and source the very latest products and innovations geared toward solving design challenges with commercial design contexts.

Unlike the plethora of trade exhibitions that we’re used to seeing, FRONT.design turns the traditional exhibition format on its head. The event focuses on building deeper connections through open exhibitor showcases located alongside dedicated meeting zones that allow you to step off-stand for a quick conversation, or connect for a pre-arranged meet-up. These relaxed and open hubs are served by all-day coffee and catering – to keep the conversations flowing.

For more focused meetings and task work, the Dyson LightCycle Business lounge is a plush, quiet space that invites you to linger and lounge. Looking to take that much-needed break from exhibiting or meetings? The Central bar hosted by Maxton Fox is ideal for unwinding and will even be serving happy hour.

FRONT.design is not your everyday design trade exhibition. Also, it’s definitely not an event catering purely to architects and interior designers. The built environment is made up of key players ranging from facility managers, government specifiers, real estate brokers, hospitality venue owners, managers and more. The idea of FRONT.design is to bring everyone under one roof for the entirety of the event. Register today and book yourself in.
