MAPPP-SETA Members
MAPPP-SETA, to whom your organisation pays a legislated Skills Development Levy, has a mandatory cash grant system that is payable to levy-paying organisations that send employees on training courses relevant to their organisation’s core business.
Some of this training may be acquired through attending relevant conferences, seminars and workshops for example, the Design Indaba. In such instances a company may apply for a mandatory cash grant from MAPPP-SETA, which is equal to 50% of the levy paid to SARS during a skills year. Read more here

Official Sponsors
Woolworths
Woolworths is proud of its continuing sponsorship of Design Indaba and is committed to supporting design at virtually every level, from our Making the Difference Through Design educational programme and our sponsorship of the House & Leisure Green Design Awards to our support of local fashion design through our SA Designers at Woolworths initiative. In this momentous year for South Africa, we gave young design learners the opportunity to honour their country and their local design heroes by creating the emblems featured on delegate bags and t-shirts for this year’s conference. We hope you enjoy Design Indaba 2010 and these unique mementos.
ABSA
For the third consecutive year, Absa is a proud co-sponsor of Design Indaba. This pioneering event embodies the cutting edge of innovation and inspires those in the creative industry to utilise their talent for economic gain and sustainability.
These ideals fit naturally with Absa’s continuous efforts to find innovative banking solutions that will enhance the lives of South Africans. With an arts portfolio that includes one of the largest corporate art collections in the world, a 24-year sponsorship of the Absa L’Atelier Competition, and arts and culture festivals such as the Absa KKNK and Aardklop, we view our involvement with Design Indaba as an extension of our contribution to the development of the creative fields.
As South Africa’s leading retail bank, offering financial services and products to more than 8.8-million customers, we believe that Design Indaba is a place where ideas are born and where creativity meets business opportunity; ultimately translating into a better economic future for those who attend and participate in the event. As a Proudly South African organisation, we take pride in our involvement with Design Indaba and its significant contribution to the economy of our country.
Grolsch
Grolsch is a global supporter of contemporary art and design, and we are very proud to commence a three year partnership as a key sponsor of Design Indaba in 2010. This event is undoubtedly one of the continent’s preeminent showcases for creativity, design and innovation and is a key celebration of those who defy convention and who continue to push boundaries.
For almost 400 years Grolsch has celebrated the courage to do things differently, starting with a maverick founder who was inspired by delivering an original beer in every sense; through to Theo de Groen who insisted on packaging Grolsch in an iconic swingtop bottle in 1897; to the present day brewers who choose never to compromise.
We see the partnership with Design Indaba as a natural fit. Like Design Indaba, Grolsch celebrates those innovative individuals who have the vision and courage to do their own thing, those who refuse to go quietly and those who, in doing so, make their mark on the world. Whether it’s the ground breaking design, cutting edge décor or innovative new media that is showcased at the event, the creativity and passion that is displayed is a true reflection of this spirit.
DSTV
As part of a stable of companies that are innovative and pioneers in their field, DStv has entrenched itself as the leading Pay TV brand on the African continent.
The brand is synonymous with providing premium world class entertainment across various delivery platforms and we strive to surpass both customer and industry expectations.
We are proud to be one of the sponsors of the 13th Design Indaba as it affirms our commitment to celebrate and encourage innovation and participation. We salute our exceptional home grown talent who are on par with their international counterparts, but who proudly celebrate their “African roots”. We constantly seek to raise the bar in our brand activations, and the Design Indaba is the ideal platform to converse with like minded brands and people.
The diverse range of categories ensures contribution from individuals who utilize this opportunity to create a voice for their ideas, to well established corporates who seek to break creative barriers.
We look forward to this years event and congratulate the team behind the scenes for putting this together. We are confident that this years event will inspire each of us to go beyond our perceived capabilities and surprise ourselves with the results!
Developmental Partner
Produced By
Interactive Africa
Easy monikers like publishing house, events business, PR business or ad agency would not do to describe Interactive Africa, which is perhaps best typified as commercial activists.
Using an eclectic skills base, Interactive Africa has advanced a resurgent South Africa through projects like the First African in Space mission, the African Connection Rally and the FIFA Soccer World Cup and Cape Town Olympic bids, as well as leveraging SA’s presence at events such as the Atlanta Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games.
Interactive Africa uses its unique amalgam of marketing and commercial savvy, project management and logistics prowess, as well as creative production services to promote South Africa. We believe that the biggest agent of change in Africa will be through skills transfer and trade – not aid.
It is this energy and passion for South Africa that’s inspired the creation of Design Indaba, now encompassing a conference, expo, magazine, education initiative, development trust and more. Design Indaba believes that a better world can be designed, and we put this to the test through the Design Indaba 10x10 Low-Cost Housing and 10x10 Industrial projects. Another in-house project, the African Carbon Trust, aims to accelerate a low-carbon economy.
Interactive Africa also services an impressive list of corporate clients including Vodacom, Woolworths, FIFA and the South African Local Organising Committee for the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup.

Cape Town International Convention Centre
Located on Cape Town’s northern foreshore beneath Table Mountain, the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) provides a flexible facility that meets the high expectations of Design Indaba’s organisers.
The spacious conservatories are flooded with natural light and surrounded by indigenous flora. These relaxing, less formal settings are perfect for viewing of exhibits, cocktails, light lunches, a meal on the run, or just a moment of quiet reflection in the course of a busy conference schedule.
The largest and most advanced kitchen facility in the Western Cape, manned by internationally-trained kitchen staff, ensures superb banqueting facilities, providing uncompromising quality menus. The kitchen is linked to seven satellite kitchens located strategically around the centre, ensuring timeous and efficient delivery of hot, fresh meals for any number of people.
1 400 secure on-site parking bays are available for visitors.
The complex is disabled-friendly, with international standard wheel-chair access, designated drop-off points and parking bays, toilets for the physically challenged and elevators with Braille inscription.
Where is the event and what about parking at the venue?
The event will be taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, with secure, pay-on-foot parking facility available on the basement level of the building.
Can I share ticket with my friends?
For security and access control reasons, each Design Indaba delegate accreditation is assigned to a single user only. Unfortunately the delegate accreditation is not transferable, and non-registered delegates with a delegate accreditation will be turned away at the access control.
How do I buy tickets?
Visit designindaba.com and navigate through CONFERENCE section. You can either register to attend the event on-line or download the delegate registration form or follow the manual registration process.
How do I collect my ticket?
Once you register on-line or manually with the delegate registration form, your details will be added to our delegate database. Registration will only be validated once fee is received before 22 January. On-site accreditation stations will be setup in the registration foyer of the Cape Town International Convention Centre from the 23rd of February to provide all delegates with access cards, delegate bags, event programme and delegate t-shirt.
Can I buy tickets on the day?
If there’s any available, yes, but it would be a premium of R6215 to cover additional admin. Historically, the conference tickets are sold out two weeks prior to the first day of the event.
Can I attend one day?
Unfortunately not. Also no session tickets available, so you won’t be able to see a particular speaker only.
When can I get a copy of the speaking program?
Typically, a draft of the event programme and full speaker list is only released during the first week of February. However, speaker names will be released from December 2009.
Can I get a copy of a speaker presentation or transcript?
Unfortunately not. However, with a membership to designindaba.com, not only will you receive a year subscription to the Design Indaba magazine, which is rich with content with our speakers’ work, you’ll also have access to the growing archive of past speaker videos, as well as the latest articles, interviews and profiles on leading creatives.
How do I register to attend as media?
