AIGA Design + Business Conference
Fueling growth, delivering brand loyalty, and creating cultural impact and meaningful social change—design is at the heart of every successful business. Join us May 12–14 at the AIGA Design + Business Conference to see firsthand how design is impacting businesses in measurable ways.
3 Days. 12 Projects. Unlimited Insights.
Take a deep dive into the creative process as we discuss 12 notable, impactful, and innovative projects from the teams that created them. Uncover insights to understand what drove successful collaboration and communication, listen to their process, and explore the decisions that informed the final product. We’re interested in the “how” and “why” behind the “what.”
Cap off each afternoon with a live unrecorded salon, hosted by each day’s presenters to dive deeper into the conversation, ask the burning questions you have, and get a true understanding of the ins-and-outs of their client-designer relationships. This experience will not only help you improve your next big project, but to encourage you to position your methodologies and approaches as a differentiator in the market.
