Early bird tickets to DesignTalks 2025
DesignTalks, an internationally acclaimed conference and the keynote event of the DesignMarch festival will take place April 2nd 2025. Early bird tickets are now available to this popular event that has been sold out the last few years.
The event is an important platform for inspiration and insights into the now and near and current challenges and opportunities of designers, architects and creative leaders, both local and international.
The overall theme for both DesignMarch and DesignTalks in 2025 is The source.
“The source can have multiple meanings, but I think of it as a certain counterpoint to the current instability. Most commonly The source marks a moment in time where something begins or springs into being, eg. a source of ideas, inspiration or life, but it is also a metaphor for revisiting ideas, taking a step back, reconnecting with the roots, a moment to clear our minds, or to restore ourselves. It will be exciting to see how participants both in DesignMarch and DesignTalks will respond to and expand on it, in the months to come”
Hlín Helga, DesignTalks curator.
