As the world opens back up, networking and business events are starting to happen again. Some events are online, and others are scheduled to be in-person events as was the norm pre-pandemic. There are a number of architecture and design conferences planned for 2021, with some amazing events included.
Interior Design and Architecture Summit (London – 30 June 2021)
The Interior Design and Architecture Summit will be held in the Hilton Canary Wharf at the end of June this year. This is a meet-the-buyer event for senior suppliers, architects and designers looking to network. Despite being a one-day event, the Summit is filled with face-to-face meetings, seminars and a networking lunch. Attend this event to get inspired for the next season for design.
London Design Festival (London, 18 – 26 September 2021)
The London Design Festival will highlight the design scene and how it’s been impacted by the pandemic. This event will support the community of freelance designers and provide them with a platform to showcase their innovative work. In 2020, the Design festival curated a portal for designs to share their designs and portfolio with a virtual audience.
If you are interested in attending the festival for several days, consider booking a serviced apartment in London.
