WADE ASIA is a dedicated collective platform for women architects, interior designers, artists and engineers in Asia.
According to the organisers, this two-day conference is a ground for aspiring and established entrepreneurs, founders of young firms, artists, designers, students and professionals who are looking for inspiration, and opportunity to meet & connect with stalwarts who have made it possible.

WADE awards are limited to women. However, WADE Conference, Exhibition and Innovations are open to all.
"At this critical juncture, when the world is reeling under water issues, we couldn’t but pick up ‘water’ as the theme for WADE ASIA 2019 to spread awareness about preservation, conservation and restoration of water and water bodies. WADE ASIA is an event dedicated to promote true talents and craftsmanship. Thus 'workmanship’ will be the focus of WADE Workshops, WADE Design Galore, and Matecia Material Innovation. Overall, an exciting show and serious conference awaits the visitors of WADE ASIA,” said Dvivedi
