About our Brand Presentations

Design Talk offers select brand presentations hosted within Design Talk member design offices across Canada and the United States, including our Toronto office. Presentations are invitation-only and thoughtfully curated for the Design Talk community.

These sessions are designed to give designers, particularly those without studios or regular vendor visits, the opportunity to experience new product in person, while enabling brands to connect directly with engaged designers they may not typically reach through traditional channels.
