About The Event

Every creative professional is looking for great work. And even in a tight economy, every design-driven organization is looking for great creative talent. The Confab brings these groups together for a unique afternoon event tailored for busy professionals.

Who should attend:

  • Creative directors and design directors wanting to hear how the industry leaders build their teams
  • Mid- and senior-level creative professionals from the apparel, product, branding and digital design fields, whether currently seeking work or looking to improve their long-term career outlook


Bring your business cards and be prepared to talk about your latest work, and leave with a collection of new connections.
