Delivering insight, direction and inspiration
The INDEX Design Talks, in association with GEBERIT, has become a staple conference at recent editions of INDEX. Hosting a series of open and lively discussions amongst many of the leading figures in the community, INDEX Design Talks brings together inspiring interior designers, renowned regional architects and the most prominent creative thinkers from across the industry, to share insight into the latest trends and innovations.
The programme is developed in close consultation with a broad range of industry stakeholders to ensure that it captures focused yet spontaneous debate around the key technical, aesthetic, market and strategic issues and dynamics affecting the industry.
Our 2022 programme focused on key topics, such as:
- Urban design
- Exploring the metaverse
- Current and future trends
- The art of storytelling with design
- Building with sustainability
- Lighting design
- and much, much more
