If you’ve been to a large multi-day design conference before, you know how valuable they can be. Every year we try our to attend as many of the best conferences as we can. They are a great way to meet new people, learn new ideas and be inspired throughout the year. Getting up close and personal with some of the leaders within the creative industries is an amazing experience and things you take away can last with you for a long time.<\/p>\n

Design conferences can even change your whole outlook or impact your process and level of work. So whether you’re looking for inspiration, or to network with new people with similar interests, keep up with current trends or to learn something new and develop your understanding of the design industry. Going to a conference is a great way to do this.<\/p>\n

It can often feel like an expense and it’s not always easy to find the time, but the payoff is always worth it. While some of the biggest conferences are overseas, there are many great design conferences in Australia.<\/p>\n

We’ve listed some of our favourites below, we’ll continue to add to these and change the dates as they get updated. We hope to see you at one of the next events. Here’s a shot from the 2018 Design Conference in Brisbane.<\/p>\n
