After a year in Montréal, the 4th edition returns to Hangar 17, Sep 17–19, 2027.
Design & Talk returns to Québec City on September 17–19, 2027: three days, two stages and a festival small enough to cross on foot.
Why we are coming back
Last year we expected people to take the shuttle between venues. Almost nobody did. They walked the hill, argued about the last talk on the way down and arrived at the next one already in the middle of a conversation.
That walk is the festival as much as the stages are, and Québec City is one of the few places where it works. So we are keeping the format: short distances, long lunches, nothing that needs a map.
I met more people on the walk between two rooms than in any lobby I have stood in.

How the three days work
Day | Date | Focus |
|---|---|---|
Friday | Sep 17 | Craft: type, print, drawing |
Saturday | Sep 18 | Code: tools, systems, motion |
Sunday | Sep 19 | Culture: studios, clients, the long view |
Two stages, never more than one talk starting at the same time.
A shared lunch table each day, with seats assigned by lottery.
Evening sessions in the Old Port, open to every pass type.
Getting there
Québec City is a short flight or a long train ride from Montréal. If you need help with travel or accessibility, write to us; we answer within two working days.
