Event: SND2020 Virtual Conference
Date: September 18, 2020
Fast-paced talks use an alternative presentation format that challenges the speakers to summarize their message into a bite-sized length — because they are limited to just 20 slides, each auto-advancing every 15 seconds. Each presentation is only 5 minutes long, and we’re letting speakers present on a variety of topics to make it even more interesting.

Topic: “Visual communication something pandemic something something”
ALEX FONG
DESIGNER, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Topic: How leading a DIY indie rock band in China changed my view of perfection. We didn’t have a budget, and the most bilingual member of the band was me — the American with barely a first-grade Chinese vocabulary. But learning to bootstrap our music and marketing made me a better designer and journalist. More importantly, it made me a better colleague and collaborator.
