OFFF Moscow was a remarkable experience. The hosts put on a truly memorable event, and showed off the very best of their incredible city for all who attended. Through the work and the stories they shared, the speakers were as endlessly inspiring as they were a joy to spend time getting to know. And the attendees were spirited, attentive, and gracious, ever making those of us who traveled so far feel an earnest sense of belonging. The 2019 edition was my second time presenting at OFFF Moscow, an event, and a city, that have become truly dear to me.

OFFF is famous for its legendary speakers and the ability to find the most spectacular cases. Presentations are perhaps one level above all that we are used to - both in terms of information and design. It's nice to hear, explore and try to take a look together with the speakers at the future design. Moscow OFFF was smaller than in Spain (I was at OFFF Barcelona last year), but it seemed to me - much more useful. I'll definitely go to OFFF this year!

OFFF is one of the most famous and epic design festivals, whose franchises are held around the world. It's very cool that it's holding for the fourth time in Russia (I am pleased that we helped in holding twice with Mail.ru Group). It allows us to gather talented international designers and inspire our local design audience.

There's an incisive, optimistic energy at OFFF Moscow, unique among the innumerable events I've spoken at around the world. The organizers curate such an enthusiastic, smart group of speakers and attendees at the intersections of art, design, tech, and science that you come away from the festival with the sense not only that you can improve yourself - your practice, your attitudes, your life - but that you can change the world. For a particle physicist like me, working at the largest experiment in human history, exploring the most baffling mysteries of science, OFFF is a perfect fit.
