Partner Registration

First if you are a design related organisation and support the idea of a public festival to celebrate design in London we encourage you to sign up as a partner organisation as soon as possible, it's free. 

By staging events and activities, partners are able to reach a wide and diverse audience. Register your organisation today.

Event Registration

Once you have registered your organisation you can submit Festival event listings through your partner account.  We encourage parties, exhibits, product launches, competitions, shows and workshops.

Event listings carry a charge - a small contribution to the cost of running the Festival. Complete the event registration online to ensure listings on the website and in the official guide.

Volunteer for the Design Army

An estimated 400,000 people are expected to attend the city wide design Festival in 2008.  To ensure visitors understand and are able to find their way to the next event, opening or launch, the Festival is now recruiting the first ever London ‘Design Army’ briefed and trained to serve the Festival public’s information needs.  

This dynamic group of design aficionados, bloggers and graphic designers will report on and service the 2008 version of the Festival. Would you like to gain work experience, expand your professional and social network and contribute to the success of an international cultural event?  Then volunteer for the 2008 London Design Army.

Contact Bruna if you are interested.

Students & graduates

Are you a design student, recent graduate or will you be graduating this summer?  Is your degree in one of these fields?  If you answered yes to both questions, we want to hear from you.  We would like to know how recent graduates would like to celebrate design in London. Email us with your ideas and thoughts on how we can help you.  We like big ideas.

Last night I ended up at the Free Range of Graduates, the art & design summer students exhibition hosted in Bricklane from the 30th of May to the 21rd of July. I particularly liked the works of a talented young photographer, Rachel Atterton.
