Speakeasy Sessions

Speakeasy Sessions

Speakeasy Sessions

Speakeasy Sessions is a community-driven series of talks, round tables, workshops and interactive sessions designed to bring together a multitude of voices from across the design landscape.

ABOUT

Do you have a bold idea? A challenge to unpack? A story worth sharing? Or a question you’ve been waiting to ask?

Join us in The Ditch at Shoreditch Town Hall for Speakeasy Sessions: a community-led programme of talks, round tables, and workshops bringing together diverse perspectives from across and beyond the design landscape.

An open forum for conversation, learning and connection, the series explores the ideas, experiences and disciplines shaping design today, from emerging practitioners and established leaders to voices from adjacent fields, and those using design as a tool for meaningful change. Through candid conversations, shared experiences and collective exploration, Speakeasy Sessions creates space for fresh thinking, exchange and connection.

 

Taking place during Shoreditch Design Week, the series brings together the creatives shaping Shoreditch’s design culture with designers from around the world inspired by its energy. Join us to contribute, connect and help shape the conversation.

Venue address:  House of ICON, Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old St, London EC1V 9LT

Talks are free to attend.
