Countdown to Annual Workshop
The Annual Workshop makes its IRL return May 19-21, and it’s sharing the bill the 44th Creative Competition (May 17-20). The Workshop showcases innovators, thinkers, builders, day-dreamers and makers. We love art, design, data-viz, color, illustration, motion and a good story. Our presenters do too, and they’ll show you how to maximize those things across your products and platforms – whether it’s social media, newsletters, websites or print.
The lineup is complete!
We’ve assembled an extraordinary lineup of industry-leading innovators, creators and visual storytelling experts. Our dual tracks offer 30 sessions over Saturday and Sunday combined.
