The annual State of Design Festival is Victoria’s peak design event held each July. The Festival offers both local and international conversations on design, with a focus on Victorian design.

The Festival demonstrates and broadly communicates how the Victorian and Australian design profession can improve living conditions, create sustainable development opportunities, and generate new and innovative products and services; in turn, providing economic benefit for the state of Victoria.

The State of Design Festival is an initiative of the Victorian State Government in Australia. The Festival is delivered through a joint venture between Australian Exhibitions and Conferences Pty Ltd and Studio Propeller Pty Ltd.
