Design Summit presented by ASUS
Shaking up the industry - in the very best way - is all part of the essential mix for Decorex Africa Reimagined. To add to its trailblazing efforts to reignite architecture and interior design conversations and actions in the post-pandemic world, Decorex Africa has launched an all-new Summit in Johannesburg, presented by ASUS.

The theme of the summit is Reimagination - how we use design as a catalyst for positive change across the continent and the globe, focusing on design as a broad discipline across various sectors.

Taking place over one-day at the Decorex Johannesburg exhibition, these stimulating talks and presentations include insights from local leading lights and a not-to-be-missed keynote presentation by an international guest speaker. Attendees will earn accredited Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points. But the events are not just for trade professionals - the intellectually curious from all walks of life are invited to benefit from what’s on offer.

A ticket to the Summit also unlocks entry to the Decorex Johannesburg exhibition.
