Design show dates, benefits for designers, and what’s offered.
Are you a graphic designer? Whether you’re a seasoned vet or a newbie to the design world, design trade shows and events are a must. There are just too many opportunities at these events to pass up.
Let’s start with the numerous connections a person is able to make with other members of the design community. There’s the potential to find a future co worker, mentor, or study buddy for those who are still in school. These events allow for designers of every skill level to share their knowledge all in one space.
Going to at least one event a year helps a person interested or active in the creative world to stay relevant. Speakers travel near and far with the most up to date design trends and ideas.

You’ll find your nirvana without a doubt at one of these events in 2015.
