The Design Indaba Expo takes place 27 February - 1 March. Visitors will also be able to take the exhibited winning work home with them, as the Loeries Annual, which showcases the winning work of 2008, will also be launched at the conference.
Comments Andrew Human, MD of The Loerie Awards. “Design is an important part of brand communication and it is a great opportunity to showcase the industry's best work to a broad audience of designers, brand managers and consumers.”
The exhibition is the annual road show of the Loerie winners and visits both local and international festivals, agencies, museums and educational institutions. Recently it travelled to Russia and New York to expose the very best of South African creative talent to a larger audience. This year the road show will include international stops in Namibia and at The One Show in New York.
The exhibition also aims to broaden awareness of the brand communications industry as a career path for learners, and inspire students currently studying brand communications.
Once again, the SABC is the sole sponsor of the Loeries Travelling Exhibition. Says SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago, “The SABC, one of the major sponsors of the Loerie Awards, has over the last couple of years, increased its investment and strengthened its partnership with the Loeries in support of the creative industry.
“As the country's biggest communicator, and a responsible corporate citizen, it is vital that the SABC moves beyond its mandate and plays a meaningful role in the development and celebration of South African creativity. The monumental success of Africa's most prestigious awards is testimony to the talent we harbour in the country.”
The major sponsors for the 2009 Loerie Awards are the SABC, Ads24, Cape Town Tourism and The City of Cape Town.
