Since 2004, the magazine has organized Designers' Saturday - an annual lecture series about design, interior design and architecture held in Bangkok, inviting international architects and designers who are well known for their particular experimental approach. In 2007, it launched the first edition of Bangkok Design Festival - a yearly event about architecture, design, fashion and arts, together with Degree Show - an annual exhibition of selected final year student works with an open call for projects in seven design fields- architecture, interior, product, graphic, animation and motion graphic, fashion and jewelry - from all Thai universities.
