BDF Conference 2025 - Birmingham Design Festival

About the Conference

BDF Conference is a celebration of design held in Birmingham across two days in June.

Every year we alternate between hosting a festival and a conference, offering an opportunity to offer something a little different with the format to keep things fresh and engaging.

You can expect a day of talks from some of our favourite designers in the world, delivered in one venue, in addition to a day of fun workshops if you fancy getting more practical.
