Speakers, who have been arranged in teams, hail from Argentina, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, Spain and SA. They will be sharing their experiences and knowledge as well as competing in a series of creative challenges dubbed the "Design Olympics", which explains the logo, throughout the festival. You can find out more about them here.
Tickets are R750 and give you access to all three days to the conference, Small Talks, all exhibitions, and the market and food hall. Workshops are an extra R250 each and space is limited to 20 people. Tickets and workshop bookings can be done at toffie@thepresident.co.za or here. The YOU&ME&EVERYONE WE KNOW MARKET is open to the public and runs daily from 09:00 - 21:00 Friday to Sunday. The grand opening is on Friday evening, and entrance is R20.
Toffie Pop is still young with this being only the third installment of the festival, and so it seems is the audience. You can expect scores of tight-jean-cigarette-wielding Cape Town boys and girls. Not quite sure if this your scene, then it probably isn't. The Toffie crowd consists of graphic, fashion, web, t-shirt designers, graffiti artists and the likes, with the market represented by many of the young entrepreneurs from the East city precinct. Our jury is still out on this one, but VISI have added their names to the sponsor list and Elle are hosting a Design Banquet which should count for something. One thing that is clear is loads of potential which is why we will be dropping by to check it out and give you some feedback. If there is something you think we have to see, please mail us.
Here's the program and for more information check out their official website.
