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

For more than 30 years, 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.
