This year's FutureLab is at the West Bund Dome.

Exhibitors include those who took part in the event in the past two years such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the China Academy of Art, the Edinburgh College of Art and the New York University Shanghai, as well as newcomers such as schools from France, the UK, the Netherlands and several Sino-foreign collaborative institutions.

Teachers from the School of Design & Innovation of the China Academy of Art will display their works to challenge the definition and boundaries of art, traditional art, design and future design.

Meanwhile, forums attended by different schools will cover various topics such as "font design" and "locality in design education" to share their in-depth and long-term exploration and thinking in both academic and practical aspects.
