A Visit from the President of AIGA

Great news! We just found out that Debbie Milman, President of AIGA will be speaking in Salt Lake City during Altitude Design Summit. How cool (and totally convenient) is that? Also very cool — the Salt Lake City chapter of AIGA has graciously invited Alt Summit-ees to attend. Here's more information:

What makes a brand stand out? Is there some magic that turns a simple script logo for a soda into the international graphic icon that is Coca-Cola, or makes us salivate over the latest product from Apple? Debbie Millman, partner at Sterling Brands and President of the AIGA, will make a presentation that takes a deep dive into the influence branding has on our everyday lives, from branding ourselves and the world around us to the role branding plays in the products we buy and the way we live.

Pull up a chair.

  Tis the season to get all comfy and cozy in your favorite chair by your favorite fire. That's really all we want to do today — forget about writing newsletters and curl up with some hot cocoa and a good book instead. To distract us from our distractions, we're looking ahead to January, when it will be hard to come up with a cozier place to be than a grand ski-lodge at a world-class ski resort in snowy, mountain-filled Utah.

 

Register for Alt today, and you can join in the daydreaming about cozy lodges and conversations with amazing speakers in close proximity. Very cozy all around.

It’s our way of saying Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays all at once. And it could be your way of saying so too.

 

But be forewarned: this is the final discount that will be offered. Once January 1st hits, it's full price from then on. For reals.
