Although it has been my second year in Melbourne, I haven’t really been able to make it to these conferences as the tickets are pretty pricey. But none the less it has always captivated my interest and gets me all excited. The AGIdeas International Design Forum is now in its 19th year and brings together students, graduates, industry and big and small business. It’s Melbourne’s answer to Sydney’s Semi-Permanent but with more varied speakers. From the book binders to the boat builders, this is a forum where you do have to sit through a few talks that won’t interest you, but the gems are definitely there. Full of passion and creativity, this years highlights included a surprise presentation from Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist along with the following:
