The annual Atlanta Design Festival is an open platform, ideal for fostering international dialogue on the economic and social impact of design. It provides connection, the free exchange of knowledge, design thinking and community building. Each year the Festival brings together independent designers, established brands, young talent, international speakers from academia, NGOs and government entities, exhibitions, installations and architecture tours – all centered on the economic and societal impact of design. We define this activity as ‘the design economy’ – the direct and indirect value created by those who use design in a wide variety of industries.

This October, festival attendees will be able to engage with MA! Architecture Tours, Product Launches, Podcast Episodes, Daily Design Films, Webinars, Talks and Outdoor Installations. These activities are available for the first time to a truly global audience.
