2018 Programming Outline
Happy New Year! We’re excited to unveil our 2018 programming outline.
Based on your feedback at Town Hall, we determined that we wanted to host events more frequently, focusing on a mix of our smaller recurring events and larger A-list events. This year you’ll notice an all-new type of recurring event, the DesignLab workshop series. These will be hands-on workshops, focusing on a particular skill or tool. We’ve also added speakers to every Design Drinking happy hour, giving some of our local talent a platform to showcase their work and favorite past projects. All of our speakers and discussion topics can be found below!
There are still some details to come, but here is our roadmap for 2018 as it stands today. If you have any questions you can email us at info@nwa.aiga, or approach a board member at one of our upcoming events—we’d love to hear your thoughts!
