welcome to 007.

It is less about Bond and more about Best or Beckham when we think about the number 7.

Since the previous newsletter, the race has been on to formalise our very own Design Truth 007 … and after weeks of planning & negotiation we have got there.

It is awesome to announce that Design Truth 007 will be sponsored by?TDC PR?&?Shark-Ninja.

TDC have been an ever-constant supporter. As a PR agency that specialises in design, innovation & technology – the body of work across agencies, brands and associations allows for them to truly value the power of the DT community.

As one of the largest investors into UK design, to have Shark-Ninja sponsoring is a landmark moment for what we have been trying to build over the last two years.

Fresh from moving into a new state-of-the-art design studio in Battersea, the future is bright for the maker of class-leading Shark vacuums and the innovative line of Ninja kitchen appliances.

For a business of such stature to recognise the value of Design Truth creates an exciting proposition in how we can scale our events into more immersive experiences and larger-scale conferences.

They join a sponsoring roster that has included the likes of Kingfisher, Kickstarter & blond – and we look forward to potentially hosting a Design Truth event in Shark’s offices in Battersea later down the line.

With 006 hosted in Hayes, one of the things we wanted to do for 007 was return to a more central location in London before hosting 008 in Bristol. To do this we are returning to Eastcheap Records from 001 – this was a spot that was well received, although Wyn’s DJing debut will have to wait.

Our events are remaining invite-only. Previous attendees will be sent out tickets on early access on 12/6/23, and any spare tickets will be released on 17/7/23 ahead of the event taking place on the 31/7/23.

Due to the high levels of interest in attending, by remaining invite-only we can operate at a much higher level of diversity which we are keen to maintain.

You can enquire about ticket availability by contacting?[email protected].

Tickets are priced at ￡30 (+vat) with those who have purchased our ‘Dieter Jams’ tee receiving a 25% discount. We have even released a 70% discount code … the trouble is we are not telling you the code. Sometimes opportunities are just staring you in the face.

All attendees will receive scran, several free drinks upon arrival and some half-decent company.

There are no talks at this event.

As part of our agreement with onboarding sponsors, TDC PR & Shark-Ninja are giving away 4 free tickets to students / recent graduates.

Keep an eye on the Design Truth socials to be in with a chance of picking up a free ticket.

We see a Design Truth meetup as an extension of celebrating UK industrial design, and the designers that make it happen.

To celebrate 007, we have released several ‘Golden Tickets’ where on the evening you can win amazing design-related prizes. All you have to do is sign up as the 7th, 77th?or 107th?to Design Truth 007.

To give you a taste of just one of the prizes on offer, we have been blown away by the generosity from Brighton-based technology company Gomi.

Rethinking the future of sustainable living, by transforming waste materials into everyday technology products.?This Gomi speaker will be with you for life.

You will be able to meet two of the Gomi co-founders during the evening, and a full community guest list will be shared prior to the meetup.

Keep an eye out in your inbox for early access tickets, as well as announcements for Bristol 008 over the coming weeks.

Design Truth 007 will take place on Monday July 31st 2023.
