Top up your knowledge with the latest regional content and ideas.

The INDE.Awards, as a program, is entirely unique. Its position as a regional purveyor of design sets it apart from national programs, as its spotlight elevates beyond any one country’s position, instead creating a catchment that extends throughout the Indo Pacific. And yet – what is regional design, and how does that geographic grouping influence the way we should be thinking and framing our work as industry professionals?
That question lies at the core of the INDE.Summit, a full day conference that brings a regional perspective to conversations around design and architecture. Back for its third year in 2023, the Summit transforms the INDE’s into a holistic event, providing the knowledge that powers the awards.

This year’s installment will take place on Wednesday August 9th and will run as a digital event, ensuring everyone from right across the region is able to join and participate. Throughout a full day of content, industry leaders and trailblazers will come together to discuss topics ranging from workplace and education, to residential design and activism in architecture. You’ll hear from the Indo Pacific’s leading minds, meaning each conversation will bring varied experiences and perspectives, reflecting the diversity inherent in our region.
The 2023 INDE.Summit theme is The Future is Here, which will look to capture the unique schism of the design world, as it exists in an environment which is accelerating towards the future and grappling with questions around sustainability, economics, equality and the human experience. What role does design take in these questions and how does it provide solutions toward change?
Best of all – the 2023 INDE.Summit is entirely free, meaning you can get your fix of design inspiration and engaging discussion all without spending a cent.
