Location:Saturday Indesign will be hosted in our exhibitor showroom locations across several design precincts in Sydney.

Saturday Indesign does not have one main location. It works by uniting showroom spaces across Sydney, connected by design trails and our own free shuttle buses.

How does the event work?

Saturday Indesign involves a coming together of international, regional and local commercial design houses and leading creative figures from the architecture and design industry. Key design-led showrooms around Sydney will be transformed by conceptual installations, while hosting topical industry seminars, international guests, workshops, demonstrations and entertainment. Exhibitor locations are connected by design trails that can be walked, alongside our own free shuttle buses running regularly all day. The whole program is like a choose-your-own design adventure for industry insiders and design lovers. It’s free to attend but you must register.
