What is Design Indaba?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A native South African word, indaba literally translates to \u201cconference\u201d or \u201cdiscussion\u201d, and the Design Indaba Conference<\/a> at the Design Indaba Festival holds true to this meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created in 1995 to bring international design thought leadership to South Africa, and take South Africa to the world, the Design Indaba Conference aims to nurture industries and professionals to build a better world through creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam Paddock, co-founder and CEO at GetSmarter, joined his brother Rob Paddock, co-founder and Chief of Strategic Partnerships, on the Design Indaba Conference stage for the first time in their company\u2019s 10-year history. Their message was one of proving to the world that Africans can not only compete internationally, but also outperform their global competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
