Australia?s largest and leading annual design festival ? Melbourne Design Week ? presents its eighth edition in 2024 with 11 days of 300+  innovative exhibitions, displays, symposiums and talks throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. 
Highlights in the 2024 program include a keynote from Nigerian architect Tosin Oshinowo, a symposium exploring  speculative riverside designs for the Birrarung, the tenth year of Melbourne Art Book Fair, plus presentations of work  by Visnja Brdar, Jessie French, Sruli Recht and Ross Gardam.
Exploring the theme of ?Design the world you want?, the 2024 program brings into focus the use of energy, ethics and  ecology to encourage positive change, reimagine existing systems and offer innovative design solutions to complex  global challenges. ?Energy? examines how design can champion new technologies to enact society?s transition to  renewables; ?ethics? demonstrates how design can be guided by societal values; and ?ecology? invites designers to  respond to the physical environment and considering the influence of nature. Presented by Creative Victoria and delivered by the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Melbourne Design Week is a  vital platform for emerging and established creative practitioners, offering the Australian design community and  audiences the opportunity to engage with a diverse program of talks, tours, exhibitions, installations, and workshops.
