These are great events that bring together local ID communities nation wide.

This year Core77 is happy to be a media sponsor for all five events, and we will be hosting the portfolio review at the Northeast District Conference (our stomping grounds!).

April 23-25, 2010 The Curtis Hotel—Denver, CO When design culture doesn’t exist – create it!

Sessions on user-centric design led by Lextant’s Jim Couch, design proximity with Teague’s Tad Toulis or exploring Eero Saarinen’s “from the spoon to the city” portfolio with Michael McCoy are just a taste of the ideas permeating in Denver. Be a part.   Mideast District Conference Faces of Design April 30-May 2, 2010 Western Michigan University—Grand Rapids, MI Bound together by passion and design of various specialty areas, the profession is evolving and a new face of design is emerging.
