International Assembly 2026: Glasgow’s design festival
As a branding content curator, I recommend this festival without hesitation. International Assembly blends bold talks, hands on workshops, and surprising moments that spark creativity. From a secret stage with undisclosed guests, to an awards night in a medieval castle. Every element is deliberately curated to inspire and connect. The programme mixes designers, coders, and makers, creating rare cross disciplinary collisions. Expect practical projects, intensive mentorships, and a standout poster exhibition that consistently uncovers fresh voices. Attend if you want new collaborators, challenging briefs, and authentic moments that will shift your practice and perspective.
Plan ahead, the lineup includes Bráulio Amado, COLLINS, Harriet Richardson, FISK and other notable creatives. Workshops cover type, coding, illustration, poster making, and experimental editorial projects for makers at any level. There are mentorships, live briefs, placements, and an annual poster exhibition showcasing 190 contemporary works. The awards ceremony moves to Rowallan Castle, promising an unforgettable evening with traditional music and a ceilidh. If you need a creative reset, this curated festival will give you fresh energy, new connections, and clear momentum. Read the feature for dates, workshops and ticket details, then book now. Seriously.
