OFFF was born in Barcelona, Spain, 21 years ago- to connect talents, share creativity and inspire ideas. Today it is one of the most esteemed international festivals, that focuses on the global development of visual design and innovation. OFFF is a series of conferences, workshops, performances and activities- but most of all, it is a meeting point for collaborators and a hub for cultural commotion, where creators and emerging talent join forces, motivate each other and share interests.

Tel Aviv is a global center of innovation, maintaining a constant dialog between ingenuity and creativity. Local creators operate in an ever-growing field, while blurring boundaries between tech and design, allowing creativity, ambition, skills and education to develop to their highest potential. On a larger scale, there is a thirst for knowledge beyond the local scene that establishes Israeli designers as worldwide leaders in their fields.

We also screen the talk from the main hall in the chill-out zone, for anyone who prefers to stay outside in the sun :) We do provide a printed schedule at the entrance to the festival, detailing all the times and places of each lecture or event. However, we also recommend checking out the lineup on the OFFF TLV website BEFORE arriving to the festival, and making a plan of which lectures you’d like to see in advance. It will save you some time, and this way you can also get to the hall a bit earlier and catch a good seat!
  • Are the talks and workshops in English?
    OFFF TLV is an international festival, and so all talks, workshops and other events are indeed in English.
  • Are there allocated seats in the halls?
    OFFF TLV is a festival with many areas of interest, and attendees are encouraged to wander around in between the lectures and discover the Fun Zone, the artists’ market, the food booths, and other fun activities around the museum. As such, we do not allow spot-saving for the lectures, and seats in the halls are available on a first come, first serve basis. If you want to be sure you don’t miss the talk by your favorite designer, please remember to get to the hall a few minutes earlier :)
