Me, Myself and My Mini

In March we hosted an event at BluEdge to experience their 3D scanning and printing capabilities up close and quite personal. Our 3D selfies have been printed and they are eerily on point!

If you attended the event - Snap a photo of yours and share it on Instagram with the special hashtag #segdminime to see all the fun!

Follow the SEGD Chicago chapter on Instagram: @segdchicago

 

For a recap of the event, and to hear chapter co-chair Julie Maggos's take on the future of 3D printing for the EGD industry, check out her blog post: http://www.interiorarchitects.com/3d-printing-and-the-future-of-egd/

 

RSVP today to tour the Chicago Architecture Center

Our tour of the Chicago Architecture Center by Gallagher+Associates is right around the corner! Join us for a night of food and drinks, and experience one of the coolest new exhibits in Chicago. Hurry and RSVP today for a fresh view of some of Chicago’s signature architecture.

 

Upcoming Event: Tour the Chicago Architecture Center

All SEGD Chicago Chapter members and SEGD Leadership conference attendees are invited to a special evening at the Chicago Architecture Center, hosted by Gallagher & Associates and the CAC. The Chicago Architecture Center opened on August 31, 2018 and has been hailed as "the new jewel in Chicago's architectural crown," by the Chicago Tribune. Located on Wacker Drive, just off Michigan Avenue, the CAC sits inside a dramatic two-story lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the river and the Chicago skyline. It's the perfect setting to come out, have a couple drinks, and network with your peers. Grab a glass of wine and learn more about what makes Chicago the City of Architecture.

Take a tour through the space with exhibition designers Gallagher & Associates and the Center's staff. You'll get a behind the scenes look at the collaboration to bring this project to life, as well as have an opportunity to ask questions about the exhibition design and storytelling approach.

Learn more about the design of the CAC here.

This event is free for SEGD Members. Please make sure to RSVP by Registering!

Meeting the next generation of EGDers

Chicago Chapter co-chairs Joe Lawton and Anna Nelson, along with account manager Josette O’Neil (Cushing), recently represented SEGD in a career fair hosted by Marwen. Marwen is a local organization that provides free visual arts, college and career programming for Chicago’s young people from under-resourced communities and schools in middle through high school.

There were over 40 different creative fields represented and both the students and their parents were intrigued to learn about opportunities for creatives in the EGD community while thumbing through material samples and mock-ups from local vendor partners. Our involvement was a great way to connect with students. For anyone interested in volunteering in a community arts-based program, we’d definitely recommend checking out Marwen!
