Having taken over Melbourne for a day in 2023, the biggest single-day design event in the Australian calendar is back in Sydney this year. Saturday Indesign is set to take place on – you guessed it – Saturday, September 7.
The 2024 edition will include all of the things that have built Saturday Indesign’s reputation over the years, as well as some exciting new features to look forward to. This year, we are introducing the Design Passport Prize, a new accolade up for grabs. To be eligible for the draw of what will be a prize worth in excess of $5000, revellers simply need to attend ten or more showrooms and collect the visits on their design passport for the day.

A range of panel discussion will return in 2024 too. Last year, topics ranged from tips on design publishing and pitches to graduate experiences across architecture and design, with guests both domestic and international. Panel talks will feature as a highlight once, with a series of discussions set to be announced at different venues across the morning.
Venues will be clustered across the most creative districts of Sydney, with design districts covering Alexandria, Surry Hills, Paddington, Darlinghurst, Chippendale and more. At the latest count, there will be 28 showrooms opening their doors – possibly more! Hop-on-hop-off buses will of course be there to help fill your design passports too, as well as VIP buses.
Nor would it be Saturday Indesign without the renowned afterpary! This year’s official gathering is set to take place at Ovolo Woolloomooloo with Signature Appliance – also the official tote partner – while the Saturday Indesign hydration partner in 2024 is Anterior XL.
There will be installations and creative projects on show across different venues – stay tuned for more information on those as we get closer to the main event.
Finally, make sure you get in touch if you’re interested in being a volunteer for Saturday Indesign 2024. It’s an excellent opportunity to meet people from across the industry – plus, you’ll receive a subscription to one of our titles as well as discounted entry to the afterparty!
Saturday Indesign returns to Sydney on 7th September, 2024.
