The Alaska Design Forum is a world-class lecture series, focused on elevating the role of design in the last frontier.

Since 1992, the Alaska Design Forum has held fast to our original core mission: to broaden the discussion around design and the built environment in Alaska.

The Alaska Design Forum is a nonprofit where designers, architects, artists, and other creative professionals gather to discuss, share, and critique design-related topics. We are a platform for fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and promoting creativity within the design community.
