About
Overview
munich creative business week (mcbw) is seeking a comprehensive exhibition concept that translates the 2027 annual theme "Signal – Noise" into an experiential space. The exhibition should emphasize design's economic value and create sustainable resonance in central Munich. mcbw is a platform where companies and designers of all disciplines present themselves to professionals and the design-interested public through exhibitions, lectures, talks, panel discussions, and other formats over seven days.
Theme
"Signal – Noise" explores how we recognize essential signals in a world full of competing information, reframed as "perceptual intelligence"—the ability to combine sensitivity, empathy, intuition, and contextual understanding. The exhibition should address how design shapes perception, makes signals visible, guides attention, creates orientation, and translates relevant information into products, spaces, services, and technologies. Design's role as an economic factor must be central.
