Large-Scale Design Events with Benefits
Organizing a Large-Scale International Design Exhibition with the support of A' Design Award is a strategic move that offers a wide spectrum of multifaceted advantages and far-reaching benefits for brands, companies, and institutions across the design industry. By aligning this prestigious event with your strategic goals and leveraging the support provided by A' Design Awards, you can maximize the impact of your event organization opportunity and establish your brand as a leader in the global design community.

International A’ Design Award Exhibitions are where we take the A’ Design Award winner-designs exhibition to cities and countries across the globe to showcase original and good design works, these are extremely large-scale design exhibitions with thousands, and sometimes tens-of-thousands of international participants, where good design from all industries are showcased worldwide.

We want to make an important distinction clear: the International Design Exhibition Organization opportunity is not about participating in the design exhibitions organized by the A' Design Award - You will remember A' Design Award organizes international design exhibitions for its laureates in Italy and then takes this exhibition to many other countries; Large-Scale International Design Exhibition Organization initiative is a distinct opportunity in which we provide complete support in you organizing a very large design exhibition in your city, with this initiative we are empowering you to take a leading role in organizing your own large-scale design exhibition. While winning the design award typically includes the chance to display your work at exhibitions we organize, the opportunity we are offering now involves you organizing these exhibitions directly. This leadership role in organizing a large A' Design Exhibition can particularly benefit large brands and government entities by elevating their profile, fostering local economic growth, and enhancing cultural and creative landscapes. Engaging with A' Design Award directly in this capacity as an exhibition organizer offers strategic visibility and networking opportunities that can redefine your presence in the global design arena. Normally, you would need a significant amount of investment to organize such a large exhibition; however we can solve 80% of the organization by taking the burden away from you; we can help find the participants, communicate the event, prepare audio-visual presentations including but not limited to exhibition posters, exhibition brand identity, exhibition communication materials and help with your marketing, and all you need to do is provide us space and perhaps provide us a barebone staff to assist in carrying items, placing posters or moving screens; it is just easy for you and you will get exceptional benefits.


A’ Design Award is one of the World’s largest, most influential, most ethical and prominent design accolade that annually reach millions of design-oriented audiences worldwide. A’ Design Award not only manages culturally influential media such as Designers.org and World Design Rankings but also partnered with numerous design publications and journals worldwide to promote, advertise and publicize good design.

Hosting the A’ Design Award’s International Design Exhibition will benefit your venue and brand in numerous ways. A’ Design Award Exhibition will advertise, promote and publicize your venue as a global, modern hub for good design, which is expected to contribute positively to your brand image and global recognition and you will get access to a significant list of benefits noted in this page as well as have opportunity to obtain laureate-only benefits that provide additional value. We will take care of international publicity and promotion, exhibition curation and branding. We have thousands of award-winning designs in all design industries that can easily fill any space.

When your large brand, institution or enterprise takes the lead in organizing an international A' Design Exhibition, you gain very valuable opportunities to shape the event to directly align with your strategic goals. Your leadership role allows your organization to curate the exhibition content, ensuring it reflects your values, your innovation and commitment to design excellence. By doing so, your brand effectively sets the stage for unveiling new products or technologies, directly influencing the industry’s perception and consumer expectations.

Furthermore, the process of organizing A' Design Exhibitions provides substantial networking advantages. Your institution can engage with a diverse array of stakeholders including potential investors, industry influencers, and new customer and consumer segments. The interactions during the design exhibition can lead to strategic alliances and collaborations, which might not have been as accessible through other channels.

In addition to business development, organizing A' Design Exhibitions serve as a platform for market research.

This strategic visibility is instrumental in communicating your brand's story, achievements, and commitment to quality and innovation, directly impacting your overall marketing and PR strategy.



Lastly, for brands dedicated to corporate social responsibility, organizing the A' Design Exhibition underscores your commitment to supporting the arts and promoting cultural enrichment. This enhances your corporate image as a benefactor of the community and culture, fostering goodwill and enhancing employee pride and retention.
