Like all great events, big and small, there are aspects that we look forward to most and some that are neither here nor there, but we all love perks! Here are four perks linked to the 2019 SEGD Business & Leadership event that you didn’t know you needed in your life until now.
Chapter Event that Allows Outsiders
Aw yes, the two most glorious words we all want to hear when considering whether to attend an event—TOUR INCLUDED! The SEGD Chicago Chapter is inviting local chapter members AND SEGD Business & Leadership attendees to an incredible evening at the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC). (Yeah, it’s definitely in your wheelhouse.) This tour will be hosted and led by 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.
