Dubai Design Week is the region's largest creative festival, reflecting Dubai's position as design capital of the Middle East. The six-day varied programme of design-related events, exhibitions, performances, awards, talks and workshops and experiences is made up of over 200 events covering design across a range of disciplines including architecture, product, furniture, interior and graphic design. An accessible meeting point for the global design community, Dubai Design Week, staged in partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), is a platform for regional design as well as a catalyst for the growth of the creative scene in Dubai. The next edition of Dubai Design Week takes place 8–13 November 2021. Key events include the region's leading design fair Downtown Design and its showcase dedicated to limited-editions design, Downtown Editions; the Global Grad Show that brings together works from 100 of the most innovative universities across the world; and Abwab, the curated and interactive project containing original design from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
