Our Wishlist
A fan wrote in asking if we could suggest to her conferences and seminars that we normally attend. Well Tracy, there are MANY that we would LOVE to attend, but we can only budget in a few in a year.
It also depends on what type of clients/ projects we are working on that year and what we are seeking to learn. Design management and business innovation events have been our big focus, followed by sustainability, tech, ux, product design and industry related conferences. You can read some of our conference recaps here >>

Some of these are huge conferences…I personally prefer the smaller 100-200 attendee type events. They are more intimate and are conducive to real discussions/dialogues. (I normally stay away from the ones that are super big and filled with vendors.)
Feel free to make suggestions! And let us know what you think of the events we’ve listed above. We want to hear your thoughts.
