Experience Minneapolis at the 2018 SEGD Conference Experience Minneapolis

  1. Learn how the geography and history of Minneapolis-St. Paul has influenced design and technology.

  4. See the city with the Nice Ride City Bike Experience with Richard Lang

Different cities face unique design challenges, but their innovative approaches can inspire designers across the world. That’s one of the reasons SEGD hosts conferences in cities across the United States—to give attendees insight into regional design and inspiration to incorporate into their own work.

Here’s a taste of how you’ll experience Minneapolis at the 2018 SEGD Conference:

  • Then and Now: Connecting People to Place in the Twin Cities: Journalist and Architectural Historian Larry Millett will discuss how Minneapolis and St. Paul’s positioning in the upper Midwest along the Mississippi River has led to its development as a mill city, a center of industry and a future destination for technology innovation, brand design, art and culture.
     
  • Activating Fan Experiences: City, Brand and Sport: The recently completed U.S. Bank Stadium—home to the Minneapolis Vikings Football team—created a new anchor point for downtown Minneapolis’ urban development and community connectivity. Hear the client-side story of the stadium’s development, activation and role in shaping fan experiences from Minnesota Vikings Football VP ofPartnership Activation and Special Projects Tanya Dreesen.
     
  • Removing the Silos: Early Collaboration for a Seamless Passenger Journey: Learn how a highly integrated process between the client, architect and EGD firm is resulting in improved passenger experience strategies and setting new standards for best practice to approach comprehensive, terminal-wide signage and wayfinding program changes to MSP, the largest and busiest airport in the upper midwest.
