China Editor, Wallpaper* Magazine Global Edition

The FIND Global Summit returns with a star-studded lineup of over 50 global industry leaders. Gain insights into innovative strategies across design, architecture, hospitality, and the consumer design market.

Curated by Yoko Choy, content chair of FIND – Design Fair Asia and editor of Wallpaper* Magazine China, the summit will feature an industry insider committee that ensures engaging and valuable sessions for 2024. This is a unique opportunity for you to learn from top experts, discover cutting-edge solutions, and explore new opportunities within the dynamic world of design.

“In seeking the answers to those challenges, FIND – Design Fair Asia is bringing together some of the best practitioners in the furniture and interiors industry from Italy and beyond to Singapore to showcase possibilities and innovative propositions to both an Asian and a wider international audience.”

The 3-day FIND Global Summit also encompasses a ½ day SIDConvention curated by The Society of Interior Designers Singapore (SIDS).

This year’s theme “Design Unbound” facilitates a series of educational seminars for ID professionals.

The entire FIND Global Summit will be coupled with SIDAC accreditation and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points so practitioners have the opportunity to upskill, build capacity, and eventually export their skills overseas. The seminars are free to attend!
