What happens when you put a bunch of creative directors in a room, throw in a few sangrias, and tell them to talk to each other? Magic, baby, pure magic. For RE:DESIGN/Creative Directors, we feature sessions by leading creative directors. We focus on small-scale peer-based conversations, so we limit the number of attendees to 150. The result is two days of interacting with a stellar group of fellow creative directors. On October 29–30 we’re taking the talks to Portland, Oregon at the Kennedy School.
We are pleased to announce our Symposiarch for this event, Eric Heiman and our theme: “Back to School: The (Re)Education of the Creative Director.” Digital technology, social networking, social change. The landscape of design and advertising is evolving constantly and irrevocably. What’s new? What’s the same? What must we let go of? What do we need to (re)learn? Your (re)education begins here.
Additional details for the 2012 conference will be announced soon. If you’d like to be notified via email when this occurs, send us a note at cdlist@redesignconference.com.
We will begin announcing speakers in June. Until then, we are offering a special early-bird price for those who would like to register now. Register before we announce speakers, and you’ll attend RE:DESIGN/Creative Directors for $475, which includes 2 days of sessions, the conference dinner and cocktail parties. This early rate is limited to the first 20 people. Once speakers are announced and/or early-bird spots are purchased, the conference registration will be $670.
