Design Symposium Site Now Live: Book Tickets Now

Published 26.09.08

Liverpool's biggest-ever design conference 'Liverpool Design Symposium' is now taking bookings from its new website http://www.liverpooldesignsymposium.com

It is supported by industry body the Design Business Association and educational charity D&AD, as well as by Merseyside creative industry bodies Design Initiative and Merseyside ACME. Merseyside ACME Director Kevin McManus said:

"The Liverpool Design Symposium will help show that the design sector in Liverpool is maturing and getting more competitive. In the last few years, Liverpool design companies, such as those involved with the Symposium, have been holding their own nationally and internationally. Hopefully the rest of the country will sit up and take notice."

Mr McManus said the symposium also aimed to show local businesses that they did not have to go to Manchester or London to find top design talent. He added:

"One of the messages we are trying to get across at ACME is the strength of the design offering in Liverpool and the region. We've already got some great companies here and we need to get that message across locally and nationally. Local people are perhaps unaware of what we've got."

Liverpool Design Symposium will be held on October 23 at St George's Hall, Liverpool. For more information visit http://www.liverpooldesignsymposium.com
