Our talks programme explores the materials shaping our world—through the voices of designers, makers, thinkers and researchers. From conferences, live events at the Material Matters Fair to special discussions at international design festivals, we delve into the ideas driving change in architecture and design.

Our next event is the Assemble with Material Matters conference, taking place on 20 November 2025 at the Bank of England Conference Centre. For more details on this event, please click here.
