Conference Speaking

Inspiring and Compelling. GDR presentations have a reputation for energising audiences across the world.
Our striking visual and narrative techniques illustrate near-future consumer trends and what they mean for today’s leading brands.
We identify the brave market leaders in retail and hospitality and explain why their experimental concepts should inform our client’s two year planning cycles.
Highly Rated. Conference organisers invite GDR speakers back time after time. Why? Because delegates always give us excellent ratings.

“The GDR report is a designer's roadmap to leading edge design. Each issue fills me with envy, lust, pride and wrath.”

“At the Drapers Fashion Summit, October 2005 in London, speakers were rated from 1-4, with 1 as poor and 4 as excellent. GDR's scores were: Content: 3.4 and Presentation: 3.7”

Karen Hutt, Conference Producer

“Seeing design excellence across diverse disciplines is invaluable. Whether it's creative, commercial or 'blue sky design' - we always find GDR’s presentation inspirational, thought provoking and commercially relevant to our ongoing design strategy.”
