Conference En

All day

We don’t want you to come to Zlín because of three hours, it will be much more. You can sip a morning espresso and eat breakfast there, get more caffeine and energy during the day at breaks. Get ready for a load of experiences from morning to evening. Or to the night, actually. We do not forget the afterparty.

Speakers from around the world

We will bring you the inspiration from countries far, far away. Speakers don’t rotate too quickly, everybody has 30 minutes to speak. And after that, you can ask whatever you want - in front of the audience or later, at a coffee break.

The connection of design and marketing

Two worlds, which need and complete each other, but do not understand each other every time. We want to change that and play with them this year. Thanks to their connection, true values arise and become a building stone to a product, brand or a company.

What others say about us?

České i světové jedničky z designu a marketingu:

Studio Swine

Studio Swine (Super Wide Interdisciplinary New Explorers) vzniklo v roce 2010 díky spolupráci japonské architektky Asuzy Murakami a britského umělce Alexandra Grovese. Věnují se výrobě nábytku, natáčení filmů, módě i dalším projektům. Zabývají se otázkou národní identity a budoucností přírodních zdrojů v kontextu globalizace. Na konferenci v roce 2017 mluvili o svých designérských cestách kolem světa.

Od těch všech už jste se mohli na konferenci inspirovat.

Koho přivezeme do Zlína letos?

Since the beginning to the end I was treated very nicely and professionally. I was also pleased with the quality of other speakers. I’d like to point out a designer duo SWINE. I was fascinated by their work. You can watch splendidly made videos about their projects on Vimeo, but only at the conference may happen that they’ll personally invite you to visit them in London.

I’m so sorry that the (after)party is just once a year. It’s always awesome!
