Where

The city of Valencia is 2022 World Design Capital. Coming to the Design Policy Conference is a great opportunity to discover the events that take place in our city.​
Valencia is located in the southeast of Spain, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a dynamic city full of attractions: from walks through its Turia Garden, to visits to the City of Arts and Sciences. The historic center has innumerable options to discover art, history, or gastronomy such as the Lonja de Valencia, the Mercat Central (Central Market), museums such as the Fine Arts Museum or the IVAM… To enjoy the sea, there is nothing better than going to its beaches in La Malvarrosa or strolling through La Marina de València.

Within the Valencia World Design Capital, events such as conferences, meetings, exhibitions, festivals, screenings, workshops, etc. are held throughout the year 2022. Coinciding with the Design Policy Conference, different events can be enjoyed.
