Saturday in Design VIP Cocktail Party

Around 400 industry guests gathered in the elegant Alto Event Space in Melbourne’s CBD above the GPO Building to wind down and swap stories on their SiD day at the official Saturday in Design VIP Cocktail Party. A perfect way to end the event, and with the announcement of the inaugural winner of The Project, by Fridcorp, there was plenty to be celebrating.
