Alongside our Winners gallery and packed two-day schedule of design talks, the Pentawards Festival will be home to an incredible village of design agencies exhibiting their work.

It’s an exclusive chance to explore cutting-edge concepts, engage with industry leaders, explore potential partnerships and collaborations, and ignite creative conversations that could shape your next big project. They’ll also be taking to the stage to discuss ideas, challenges and success stories with an insight into agency life and some incredible projects. Before you visit them on 5-6 February, here’s a little bit about the agencies…
