Four years on from its foundation in Dublin, OFFSET returns in 2013, once again bringing 24 inspirational speakers from around the world to the city.

The line-up (see below) is the strongest yet, with The Bord Gais Energy Theatre hosting presentations, interviews, panel discussions and debates from Friday April 5 - Sunday April 7. It will bring homegrown and international designers, animators, advertisers, artists, photographers and more to the venue for what should be an incredibly creative three days.

One of the key speakers will be Oliviero Toscani, the creative icon behind Benetton's infamous and oft controversial ad campaigns, whilst the Irish contingent contains visual artist and filmmaker Eoghan Kidney and Gavin O’Sullivan, creative director of award winning Dublin ad agency DDFH&B.

Tickets are priced between €130 - €190, with student rates and group rates available. Go to [link]www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie[/link] and [link]www.iloveoffset.com[/link]
