After moving online for the first time last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Forward Festival for design and advertising is set to return with another virtual edition in March.

Spread over three days, the Forward Online Festival will host more than 15 live-streamed talks and workshops, including keynotes from Instagram darling Nicole McLaughlin and graphic designer Paula Scher, who was Pentagram's first female principal.

The event also focuses on imparting practical career skills, with workshops on everything from calligraphy to client relations.

In-person versions of the event are set to take place later on in the year, with the Berlin edition slated for June and the Vienna one for October.

Forward Online Festival takes place online from 10 to 12 March 2022.
