Design:Made:Trade 2011

Design:Made:Trade is a diverse and inspiring trade exhibition space, including some of Australia’s leading furniture, fashion and industrial design brands. Design:Made:Trade returns for its fourth year and will be accompanied by a huge number of programs including workshops, talks, exhibitions and displays. This historic site comes alive with activity during the first week of the Festival.

DESIGN:MADE:TRADE, along with LIGHTSOURCE, attracted 4,441 qualified Trade Visitors and 3,946 Public Visitors in 2010, a 40% increase on 2009. In 2011 we expect to attract 5,000+ trade visitors so exhibitors will have the chance to meet an even greater number of manufacturers, retailers, architects, building and interiors industry specifers, as well as local and international buyers.

We also expect a significant increase in visitation from the general public over the weekend to our public programs, in addition to new, extended hours on Friday night – it will be a real must-go event. Dates for 2011 are Thursday 21 – Sunday 24 July 2011.

DESIGN:MADE:TRADE: is the place to communicate your position as a design innovator. As part of the largest design festival in Australia this is the chance to meet key national, regional and international decision makers, network with industry, as well as a consumer audience to increase your brand profile.
