The event has been conceived to promote and honour Ahmedabad as the Design destination of India and to acknowledge that formal Design education first flourished here.

It is widely believed that Art is a depiction of how a society manifests itself, from philosophy to practice, while Design paves the way for a civilization through constant innovation. In fact it is tough to distinguish where one ends and the other begins.

The sole purpose of ADF is to connect people with Design and apprise them about how Design can aid them in various aspects. It goes well with the belief of the institute, Culture Connects, Tradition Confirms and Technology Empowers.

There will be a performance of Rahul Subramanian with his unique take on standup comedy. This will be followed by Fusion, Folk fusion session featuring Megdhanush and concluding with the internationally acclaimed Prem Joshua and Band.
