Past Events
The MODE Summit has evolved into a rhythmic beacon for the global motion design community, convening biennially since 2013 as a peer-reviewed platform where professional practice and education intersect. More than a conference, it operates as a living exchange, drawing world-renowned designers, educators, and makers into a shared space of inquiry, critique, and inspiration. At its core, MODE functions as a major international digital arts summit that channels global expertise directly into Singapore’s motion design ecosystem, amplifying both local and regional impact. The MODE Fest anchors this exchange through curated exhibitions of international design work, offering a vivid cross-section of contemporary practice, while keynote presentations and hands-on workshops translate that energy into dialogue and skill-building.
