It’s that mid-year moment where you stop and think: Where has the time gone?

Your to-do list has doubled, your energy’s taken a hit and you’re craving a spark to recharge your creativity. Maybe it’s a forest walk… a coastal escape… or maybe… It’s The Design Conference.

Yep, The Forefront is heading to The Design Conference (TDC) Brisbane 2025, and we’re buzzing to be amongst the action.

Kicking off on Wednesday 18 June, this three-day creative deep dive brings together global thinkers, makers and dreamers for keynotes, workshops, panels and product experiences that transform not just your work…but your mindset around creativity.

Curated by TDC founder Matthew Haynes, the conference isn’t just about design trends. It’s about pushing the edge of creativity, challenging ideas, and shaping the future of your practice.

With 23 speakers, 20 major talks, 15 workshops, 6 product experiences, and 5 powerful panels, one word keeps coming up:

 

[Transformation]

 

This year’s theme hits home as it brings up talking points on rethinking success, embracing uncertainty, and using design as a force for change – insightful chats for personal and professional growth. We can’t wait to hear from legends like Mike Stewart (Science Bodyboards), Maxime Manga (Independent), and Ren Rigby (Proto), along with an all-star lineup of local and international creatives.

So. In case you didn’t get our drift – The Forefront crew will be there, soaking up the knowledge, sharing the vibes, and connecting with the brilliant design community. So if you’re also going please come say hi to us! We love meeting new people and hearing your stories too!
