Every attendee at our Dezeen Day conference in London on 30 October will receive a free Herschel backpack worth £60.

The Canadian brand is sponsoring Dezeen Day and will provide every attendee with either a Settlement or a Heritage backpack in black.

Herschel Supply Co is a design-led brand based in Vancouver, Canada, that produces bags and accessories for travellers.

The company was founded in 2009 by brothers Jamie and Lyndon Cormack and is named after the small Canadian town where their forebears lived.

Dezeen Day attendees can collect their free Herschel backpack when they arrive at BFI Southbank, the conference venue in central London.

Speakers at Dezeen Day include Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at The Museum of Modern Art in New York; industrial designers Paul Priestman and Benjamin Hubert; and architects Dara Huang, Patrik Schumacher and Arthur Mamou-Mani.

The conference will set the agenda for architecture and design, tackling crucial issues including the circular economy, future cities and new materials. See the conference schedule here.
