D.Talks is an ongoing series of panel discussions presenting practical information about current trends and hot topics in the world of design and business. Our goal is to foster robust dialog and critical thinking, so crowd participation is an integral part of each event.
Join AIGA SF as we discuss the special planning needed to develop your personal design career arc. We’ll provide an overview followed by an expert-led discussion specific to key transitions in a designer’s career. In this particular event we’ll have a group of up to 12 people for each of the 8 topics led by an expert who has already successfully navigated the career transition. The expert will lead the discussion and recap the top three takeaways before a final Q&A.
As each topic’s pod will have a maximum of 12 people they will be filled on first-come-first-served basis on the evening so come early to get into the group you want.
