The BDF Conference returns to Birmingham this June for a two-day event dedicated to design, creativity, and this year's theme, Play.

Each year, the team alternates between a full festival and a more focused conference, offering a slightly different flavour each time to keep things interesting.

For 2025, it’s all about embracing curiosity, experimentation, and fun. Expect a day of inspiring talks from some of the world's top designers, all under one roof. And for those who like to get hands-on, there’s a full day of workshops too, perfect for diving into something practical (and playful).
