Business of
Design Week (BODW), Asia’s leading event on design, innovation and brands, will
gather outstanding design masters and influential business leaders from around
the world in Hong Kong on 2-7 December 2019. In collaboration with its partner
country this year – the United Kingdom, one
of the world’s greatest cultural nations with a thriving creative sector – BODW 2019 is
curated on the theme Design the
Future, Create Tomorrow. From fashion to film,
architecture to advertising, UK creatives have a well-earned reputation for
challenging conventions and embracing the new with professionalism and flair.
The UK is also identified by trend forecasters as a key market for new trends
to take off globally.
With strong participation from UK creatives and other international
experts, the BODW 2019 summit will present a host of forums and
panels exploring the latest trends and ideas in branding, communication,
product design, digital and technology, spatial design and architecture, culture
and city life. The summit provides a mega platform
for business and creative leaders to exchange innovative ideas, network, and
explore new business opportunities.
