Thank you for being part of the National Festival of Design!
The National Festival of Design has wrapped for 2025 and what an incredible few days it was!
Thank you to every designer, partner, speaker and supporter who joined us on the Sunshine Coast to share ideas, challenge thinking and celebrate excellence in building design.
​
From packed conference sessions to a sold out National Design Awards Gala, the energy, generosity and collaboration across the Festival showed just how strong and connected our design community is.
