INTERACT / Design Indaba 2009

25 February 2009 - 27 February 2009

Leading international creatives have been unfolding new worlds of possibility and inspiration at the annual Design Indaba Conference since 1995. Designers, executives, fanatics and delegates have come to see the experience as an idea tonic.

By attracting the world’s brightest talent, Design Indaba has become a respected institution on the creative landscape and one of the few multi-sectoral events that celebrates all the creative sectors –graphic design, advertising, film, music, fashion design, industrial design, architecture, craft, visual art, new media, publishing, broadcasting and performing arts sector.

John Bielenberg thinks wrong. And he's changing the world, one design project at a time. Design Indaba chats to this mastermind about his creative progeny.
