Since its inception in Dublin in 2009, OFFSET has become one of the world’s most important creative events, each year hosting 24 of the most inspirational speakers here at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.
It returns this year with its strongest line up to date, and will host a weekend of presentations, interviews, panel discussions and debates live on stage, with the very best of Irish and International designers, animators, illustrators, advertisers, artists, photographers and more. They will speak about their work, their ideas and inspirations and give insight into their practices and personal perspectives on their own careers over the course of three inspiring days from Friday April 5th - Sunday April 7th.
Each year OFFSET attracts visitors from across the globe to attend the 3-day conference and last year delegates made their creative pilgrimage from the UK, Europe, USA, Asia and as far as Australia. There are no VIP areas, and no green rooms at OFFSET, the space is a democratic one facilitating both speakers and attendees and allowing both to mingle freely and settle in for three days of inspiration. The intimate surroundings of the Second Room allows visitors to get a little closer to some of the legendary speakers, who will give interviews, contribute to debates and take part in group discussions on the topics that are at the heart of the creative agenda.
On this year's mainstage: Ben Bos, Ben Newman, Bob Gill, Calef Brown, Chris Silas Neal, Ciaran Ogaora / Sero-G, Craig & Karl, Ben Fender / Drive Productions, Eoghan Kidney, Faile, Gavin O'Sullivan / Ddfh&b, Hvass & Hannibal, Iain Tait, Ji Lee, Jonathan McHugh, JR, Kate Moross, Louis Fili, Niamh Sharkey, Natasha Jen / Pentagram, Oliviero Toscani, Sarah Illenberger, The Stone Twins, Vaughan Oliver.
