See you all at By Design 2021.
We’ve decided to cancel By Design 2020 and look forward to By Design 2021
For By Design 2020, we were set to bring together our strongest line up yet and we were looking forward to welcoming legends like Lance Wyman, Kenya Hara, Cas Holman, Stefan Sagmeister, or Cordulla Alessandri in Bratislava. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to guarantee that attending an event of this size this year would be safe for you, or our speakers, which is our foremost priority.
Besides, we do not want to compete for a spot on already tight company budgets. The upcoming months will be hard on all of us, but design must play a crucial role in restarting the economy, so we will be back in 2021.
If you have already bought your ticket(s) for By Design 2020, they will be valid for By Design 2021.
To thank you for your patience and support, we will send you a free copy of the upcoming issue of Backstage Talks over summer.
Thank you for your trust and support. See you in 2021!
