The SND Creative Competitions have both concluded for the year, and while it is unlikely that The Society will gather for our annual conference in-person this year, we are still excited to bring our members and community together and highlight some amazing speakers and showcase their award-winning work.
In fact, we hope to do this even more frequently than just once a year.
Building on the success of the first virtual conference, SND will continue to share ideas and knowledge through a new monthly virtual series, “Creative Conference Calls.”
About This Series:
The concept: A moderated 60-90 minute conversation with various guests on specific design and industry topics. We will explore interesting projects from around the world, talk with makers and visual leaders, and allow time for questions and less formal networking among registrants.
When: The third Wednesday of every month at 12pm ET starting May 19.
The Creative Conference Calls series is free to all current SND members, as well as students and educators. Not an SND member but want to attend? Don’t worry, each session will be available to attend for a small registration fee of $10.
Can’t make a session live … we have you covered. The series will be recorded and available for registrants to watch on playback after the live presentation, whenever they like.
You must register to get access to the session and its recording.

- May 19 – Meeting the Makers of Best in Show
