D&AD Festival 2025

D&AD Festival returns to London for 2025 at London’s Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall building 21–22 May.

At the Festival we will cover jury insights fresh from our 2025 juries, creative excellence, tech and AI, best-in-class craft, design & advertising, BTS deep dives into the work and giving the people behind it a stage, fireside chats and interviews of incredible creatives, networking and learning opportunities, and interactive activations.

The two-day event will culminate with the D&AD Awards Ceremony on 22 May, awarding the very best in global creativity.

Tickets are on sale now — book before midnight on Monday 24 February using code FESTIVAL30 to get 30% off your tickets.

Please note that spaces on these taster sessions are limited, and the purchase of a Festival ticket does not guarantee you a space.
