Design Indaba Conference

Since 1995, the Design Indaba Conference has invited the world’s top creative minds to address professionals from the creative, corporate and educational sectors alike. Championing creativity that enhances every aspect of the world around us, Design Indaba recognises graphic design, advertising, film, music, fashion design, industrial design, architecture, craft, visual art, new media, publishing, broadcasting and performing arts shoulder-to-shoulder. 

Simulcast

The Young Designers Simulcast in Cape Town is a live broadcast from the main plenary session to a second auditorium. Students and designers under the age of 25 get discounted access. When the main conference sells out, YDS open to delegates over the age of 25.

Last year the simulcast was also broadcast at the University of Johannesburg’s Arts Centre for the first time. This year Johannesburg-based delegates of all ages again have the opportunity to experience the creative inspiration and world-class speakers at Design Indaba Conference, right in their own city.

In 2012, the simulcast will also be broadcast to the Suncoast Conference Centre in Durban and is open to delegates of all ages.
