Sri Lanka Design Festival is conceptualised and presented by AOD.

SLDF is where creativity, culture, and business meet. It’s Sri Lanka’s biggest celebration of design — connecting the island’s designers, makers, and innovators with the world.​Launched by the Academy of Design (AOD) in 2009, SLDF was born to position Sri Lanka as South Asia’s next creative hub. Over the years, it has grown into the country’s most influential platform for showcasing design, fashion, and innovation as powerful forces driving both culture and the economy

​Every year, the festival brings together artists, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders from across the region — sparking conversations, collaborations, and new ideas for the future. From exhibitions and runway shows to workshops, talks, and performances, it’s a week where creativity takes centre stage

​At its heart, SLDF celebrates the power of creativity to shape new futures — for our people, our industries, and our city.
