The AGI Open is one of the leading international design conferences, this time hosted for the first time in Latin America in the city of São Paulo. Included in the annual programming of Alliance Graphique Internationale, the congress is open to anyone interested in the subject. The first edition of the AGI Open was held in 2010 in the city of Porto, Portugal. Co-organised by R2, it brought together about 1,000 attendees. Barcelona, Hong Kong and London hosted the event in the following years.
Over two days, talks, interviews and debates will hustle the Ibirapuera auditorium. This is a unique opportunity to know and be inspired by the work philosophies and methodologies of a special team of designers. The AGI Open is a not-for-profit event. All members pay for their expenses and receive no fee for their participation. The funds raised are used exclusively to ensure that the congress takes place.

R2’s practice extends beyond conventional boundaries, navigating both typical graphic design’s two-dimensional mediums and architectural landscapes. R2 has earned global acclaim for its groundbreaking projects that contributed to redefine the boundaries of the design field. Driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence, they passionately devote themselves to crafting high-quality, both conceptually and visually, designed projects.
