SEE CHANGE is an annual gathering for communication professionals across the visual spectrum (designers, photographers, advertising creatives, information architects and videographers, along with students and interested members of the public at large). The premier event for SEE CHANGE will be held May 20-21 in Minneapolis on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The event is intended for curious creatives to refresh their talents with innovative ideas and imagery. This exchange is important as visualists struggle to reinvent themselves for the next best thing. New technology and media outlets continually create new challenges and opportunities that affect how we work and see. The SEE CHANGE conference is one way to bring visual people together to navigate the ever-morphing communication landscape.
The SEE CHANGE format will include an opening night dinner with keynote speaker on Thursday, May 20 and a full-day of speakers on Friday, May 21. In addition to 45-minute presentations by out-of-town luminaries, local talent will also present shorter talks on innovative projects or technologies.
Conference co-hosts are the School of Journalism and Mass Communication's Minnesota Journalism Center and the Minnesota chapter of AIGA (the professional association for design).
Registration information is coming soon.
