Semiofest

Semiofest is the main worldwide conference series and event on commercial semiotics.[1] Its focus is on the methods of semiotic analysis which are helpful in solving interpretational conflicts and providing tools for better design of social meaning-making spaces.

The topics covered include the applications of semiotics in marketing, brand development, design, advertising, applied aspects of social semiotics, ecosemiotics etc.[2] The conference subtitle is "A Celebration of Semiotic Thinking".

Commercial semiotics applies results from semiotic anthropology, cultural semiotics, ecosemiotics and biosemiotics for multi-sided analysis of meaning-making.
