Dezeen is giving six readers the opportunity to win a ticket to their choice of either the Munich or Zurich edition of Forward Festival 2017.

The first leg of the three-part festival took place in Vienna last month. The next will take place in Munich at the Alte Kongresshalle from 15 to 16 June, and will then appear in Zurich at Freitag F-actory Noerd from 17 to 18 June.

Focusing on design and communication, the festival brings together international and local creatives in an English-speaking conference to discuss their careers and achievements in the industry.

Alongside these talks, there will be a number of other highlights at the Zurich and Munich locations, including music performances and after parties.

Aiming to foster new projects and goals amongst the creative community, there will also be a host of workshops and networking events at Forward where attendees can interact and exchange ideas.

This year marks the first time the festival will take place in Zurich – the third location to be added to the festival's usual spots of Vienna and Munich.

Speakers at the new Swiss venue and in Munich include Stefan Sagmeister, who will be discussing his research on the concept of happiness, and Swedish agency Snask, who recently rebranded the graphic identity of North Korea.

Other names to appear across the Munich and Zurich editions include street and graffiti artist Nychos, Viennese illustrator Frau Isa, and Felix Richter, the creative director behind advertising agency Droga5.

Tickets to the Munich and Zurich dates of Forward Festival are available to buy online from €240.
