SEGD Branded Environments 2021 is the event purely focused on brand experiences that transform engagement within public spaces. And this past year has provided designers with new opportunities to redefine that engagement. False starts and Delta-waves notwithstanding, we are beginning to re-enter our cherished public spaces. And as we return, we come back to spaces transformed by improved public health consciousness and an increased awareness of racial and gender equity along with design in service of community.

PRESENT YOURSELF

Present Yourself, SEGD’s initiative connecting students to their future careers, also provides mentorship opportunities for professionals as well as links to the next wave of design talent.

In May, SEGD will host a virtual space where graduating design students will meet SEGD professionals for candid portfolio reviews and career advice—essential in our current climate.

Join SEGD's Management + Leadership Virtual Summit, Wednesday, March 24, and Thursday, March 25 2021. Taking a hard look at the cultural and workplace shifts over the last year, we’ll examine proven examples of creative leaders who successfully transformed their business and leadership approach to meet the changing needs of their team and clients.

SEGD FILM FOCUS

Screening – Open from Wednesday, May 20 through Friday, May 22
Live Discussion - Friday, May 22 @ 8:00pm EDT

Join us for an exclusive screening of “The New Bauhaus”, an odyssey through the life and legacy of László Moholy-Nagy, the innovative artist and educator whose pioneering approach to integrating technology into design continues to influence and inspire. The 89-minute film explores tensions between art and commerce, tradition and experimentation, past and present — and future.

Each year, SEGD holds the Academic Summit as a forum for trends in design education research, projects and curriculum innovation, the 2020 SEGD Academic Summit will be held on virtually June 11 and 12. Presenters are chosen in a peer-review process by the Academic Steering Committee of SEGD of papers submitted from educators and practitioners.
