The highly influential 2024 Excellent IAI Design Festival and the 16th IAI Design Award Ceremony will kick off in Xiamen on June 28th. This is bound to be a top-level event that brings together global design leaders and presents cutting-edge design achievements.

The 2024 IAI Design Festival and the 16th IAI Awards Ceremony will be held in Xiamen from June 28th to 29th, 2024, as unanimously decided by the members of the IAI Design Awards Competition Committee of the Asia Pacific Designers Alliance.

Waiting is the longest agony, but poetry and the distance are worth waiting for and watching. This may be a true portrayal of the publication of these two editions of the IAI Design Yearbook. Although the 14th/15th edition of the Yearbook was not published as scheduled due to the well-known pandemic, the successful publication and distribution of both volumes before the 16th IAI Awards undoubtedly added a strong book fragrance to the exciting design activities and created a stronger academic atmosphere.
