MIXER! OR PLATFORM?
Do you have a programme that you would like to present to the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK audience and your own venue? Then register for PLATFORM.
For all those who want to be part of the festival programme but don't have their own location - or, conversely, a location but no suitable content - there is the Mixer! format. Here, the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK curatorial team will find suitable locations for your content and vice versa.
