During the upcoming discussion, we will examine the processes of professionalisation, the building of strong original brands and the internationalisation of Polish design.

We invite the following to actively participate in this closed working session:
- designers with an established professional standing,
- owners of recognised personal brands,
- individuals with many years’ experience and a significant body of work in the design industry.
