Cheeky answers to the usual questions, you know...
But if you have any questions, write us at [email protected] and we'll answer you in less than the time it takes Little Nicolás to sneak into an after party .

What is Blanc!?

Blanc! (White! in Catalan) is a design festival that will burst your brain with talks about design and creativity at a national and international level. How many days? Three! How many people? More than 700 per day from all over the country! There's also a live rock band that will rock you! People attend to learn and to become a better professional. So now you know, if you really love design, Blanc! is your event.

Where will the event be held?

The event will take place in Vilanova i la Geltrú, on 19th, 20th, 21st October, 2023, in La Daurada. A brutal atmosphere, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, in an open space that invites you to have a great time, and show off locations for your Instagram feed!

What does my Superpack ticket include?

Full access to the three-day conferences and activities that will take place during the festival.

Cancellation and return

If for health reasons of force majeure the event could not be held, the organization would offer different options available to attendees so that they can be refunded. These reasons could apply both to the celebration of the festival itself, and to restrictions applied in the attendee's place of origin. On the other hand, if for whatever reason you can't come, you'll have two options: - Modify the name of the entry and give it to another person. - Request a refund of the purchase. You will have time until September 19 (one month before the event) to return the ticket, and we will refund your money. Keep in mind that we would deduct 5% of the ticket management costs (platform commissions and payment methods that are not refundable)

Which language is used in the festival?

The conferences are mostly in Spanish. International conferences are in English.

Where can I see the timetable?
