FRONT 2019 returns to Sydney’s Carriageworks this 29 & 30 August, delivering only the innovative and forward-thinking products that commercial interior designers, architects, property developers and consultants need to be specifying.
FRONT is a highly vetted event, attended by industry thought leaders and change-makers. It’s an exhibition that challenges what it means to design better, shaping the future of our industry in Australia and around the world.
We are proud to introduce Maxton Fox, Zip and Dyson as partners in 2019. Each will be integral to the FRONT experience. Maxton Fox in collaboration with Polytec will bring their design and fabrication expertise to the event, helping you connect and make the most of your attendance through a custom-made concierge desk, hospitality stations and the FRONT main bar. Zip Water will keep you hydrated throughout the day with their hydration stations offering flowing still and sparkling water on-tap across the exhibition footprint. Dyson will be releasing their latest innovations to be featured in the Dyson Business Lounge.
So, what can you expect? FRONT is a journey of discovery: there’ll be a unique set-up presentation pods, ensuring attendees walk past every exhibitor – so you can unlock the knowledge of every brand and every new product worth knowing about.
Positioned around the space will be designated meeting areas encouraging interaction and engagement, facilitated by all-day catering. And with custom-built technology that allows you to connect with other exhibitors and attendees pre-event, those conversations can start before you even step through the door.
FRONT Forum 2019 also presents topics and discussions unique to any other event, with two full days of keynotes by international and local thought leaders, debates and panel discussions focused on the future of commercial design and development in Australia and beyond.
Alongside the Forum are a host of CPD-endorsed sessions presented by FRONT’s disruptive and pioneering brands who will be sharing the latest insights in the commercial sector, this series offers more education, more talking points, sparking even more debate in an ever-changing industry.
From connecting with a host of decision makers to listening to the strong opinions and viewpoints of some of the most well respected and most diverse names in the industry, FRONT is the place where you’ll learn, grow your business and shake up the way you approach design for the better.
FRONT is the place where meaningful conversations happen, where genuine connections are made and where you can make a real difference to your brand or practice.
Troy Creighton, Sales & Business Development Manager, Stormtech, said of FRONT 2018: “I’ve been to trade shows from Frankfurt to New York to New Zealand, and I haven’t been to a trade show that’s been as well-focused.”
Expect to hear more from FRONT in the next few weeks, as we announce the keynote speakers that will be leading the thought-provoking discussions, the exhibitors that will be showcasing the newest and the greatest products and the ambassadors that will be shaping your experience.
