10 of the most inspiring speakers to see at the Design Show 2022

Design Show Australia is the country’s national exhibition event for interior design, architecture and fitouts, and has become known as the industry’s most trusted meeting place for curated and authentic design. The three-day event is held at Sydney’s International Convention Centre and showcases premium brands, manufacturers, suppliers, designers, specifiers and buyers that work across commercial, workplace, hospitality, multi-res and residential interiors. ArchiPro is the Design Show's presenting partner, and this year there is a huge roster of design experts sharing their knowledge and expertise. We’ve chosen 10 that we think shouldn’t be missed.
