Workshops

We will have eight live design workshops. You'll get an inside look into how designers work in real time, and you can learn from their successes and failures.

Speakers

We are bringing together six speakers from around the world. They'll provide attendees with insights and inspiration that will help them in their own work.

Networking

With our four virtual breakout sessions, you can network with other pro designers from the comfort of your own home. You don't even have to put on pants if you don't want to (but we strongly suggest that you do).

New friends

This virtual conference is a great place to meet new friends, especially if you're the type of person who likes to talk about graphic design, web design, or pretty much any other kind of design. (And let's face it, if you're reading this, you probably are.) You'll have a great time.
