Organised by Birmingham Design Festival
Join us in August for the first-ever BDF Conference, a celebration of design, creativity and COLOUR.
This year BDF will be coming to you online and in-person as we blend some of what we’ve loved about hosting digital events with an in-person exhibition featuring over 100 of Birmingham’s most talented artists.
You can expect multiple nights of talks from celebrated designers sharing their love of colour in all its forms live-streamed and available on-demand in our Vito hub.
To kick things off we’ve got a special exhibition of Birmingham – The Creative City at poster sites around Birmingham and we’ll be sharing all the work together online and in-person at The Market Hall in Digbeth.
In addition to the main conference programme, we’re encouraging the local community to get involved with their own events – creating a week long celebration to coincide with the festival.
