Toolkit Designers’ Meeting 2016

Inspiration, imagination, passion, creation, illustration, ideas, colours, logos and designs. These will be the main stars of this year's 'Toolkit Designers' Meeting'. This is what defines, shapes and helps evolve limits, perspectives, images, thoughts and objects around us. In order to conquer the final goal. And what is that goal? Communication.

After two successful events, 'Toolkit Designers' Meeting' is back, expanded and more creative than ever. Materialising the vision of the Design Toolkit organising team, 'Toolkit Designers' Meeting 2016' has evolved into a meeting that is addressed to the young and old whose common characteristic is their passion for and involvement in design.

This year's event focuses on the broader concept of design, on its various practices and professional applications. The programme will include speeches by established design professionals, seven specialised workshops, poster, silk screen print, and industrial design exhibitions, as well as an international poster design competition, with an exhibition of outstanding participants' work. Last but not least comes ExpoWorkshops, which is the exhibition of the results – works of workshop participants and which is held after the end of the event.

The design community in Greece is great and active. It is constantly renewed with young people. It communicates knowledge and builds synergies. This year's Toolk Designers' Meeting proves it.
