Academy partnership is part of the program we run in collaboration with Norwegian design education programs and is supported by the Cultural Council.

Designers Saturday (DS) is organized as an association with non-profit operations.

Our exhibitors are members, and their representatives, together with volunteer design enthusiasts, work unpaid to plan and execute the event. This is done in collaboration with a hired general manager.

The board is responsible for:

- Joint marketing, information, and PR.

- Sending invitations to industry visitors, the press, the public, and other relevant target groups.

- Planning and executing both Norwegian and international press tours, as well as preparing press releases and press kits.

- Digital platforms: Managing the website, app, and social media.

- Creating maps for showrooms and stops.

- Planning bus routes and transportation.

- Marking all DS bus stops.

- Guides: Recruiting, training, and compensating guides who register and assist visitors at each bus stop.

- Purchasing, storing, delivering, and returning DS materials, including facade banners for showrooms, tote bags, and access badges.

- Planning and executing other DS initiatives: Awards, Talks, opening and award ceremonies, DS-Unika, DS-Collab, the Saturday Night Party, and more.

• Exhibitors must focus on product innovations, outstanding design and high quality.

• We encourage each individual exhibitor to create creative product presentations to inspire a professional audience.

• DS encourages all exhibitors/showrooms to invite their contacts to the event.

• Take the new academic day on Friday seriously, make a programme, invite relevant people, do not serve alcohol before 3pm at the earliest

• All exhibitors shall upload images, logo and text to own exhibitor profile immediately after approval.

• The exhibitor is responsible for looking after the environment, obtaining permits and not show consideration for neighbours.

• Information about brands, quality and design must be provided at the request of the board during the processing of exhibitor applications.

• The exhibitor is responsible for the content and images published on their exhibitor profile on www.designerssaturday.no, as well as ensuring the rights to this material.

Be prepared that infection control is still important; If needed, overview of the number of people, distance, hygiene, hand sanitiser and masks. Exhibitors together with the organizer must find good solutions.

Plan for short visits and precise messages.

Rules and recommendations from Oslo Municipality and national authorities must be complied with at all points.

Stay tuned for information, together we will find good solutions.

• It is the exhibitor's own responsibility to find a suitable exhibitor space.

• In the application form, you will find an overview of showroom DS operates, where you can apply for space.

• You are also welcome to make inquiries directly to other showrooms and inform us as soon as possible about the chosen showroom.

• At each event, new showrooms are added, while others are left over. Applications for approval of new showrooms and stops, with information on addresses, the number of exhibitors and which ones, are addressed to the board.

• The board considers, among other things, proximity to a bus stop and connection to the bus route in consultation with the carrier. The aim is to maintain or reduce the number of stops rather than increase.

• We prioritize an efficient route to reduce the public's time consumption outside the showrooms.

• Saturday Night Party will be held on Saturday, September 13th. More information will follow. Tickets can be purchased here.
