The City of Greater Geelong is proud to present our biggest Geelong Design Week program ever with more than 70 exhibitions, workshops, talks, tours and unique experiences that will inspire the community.
From 21-30 November, Geelong Design Week 2024 will celebrate homegrown design excellence, innovation and creativity across our region, showcasing why we are Australia’s only UNESCO Creative City of Design.
Our annual event will bring Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, local designers, industry leaders, design enthusiasts, students, creatives and the broader community together to collaborate, network and inspire new ideas to solve design issues.
Program highlights include:
