Previously I SEGD-blogged about one of our more experienced members, Susan Jackson Keig. This time I want to take a moment to blog about some of the youngest members of our community.
For the first time ever this year, one in eight participants at the SEGD Conference will be a student!
SEGD is already experiencing record membership highs, and this influx of student members just adds to the wave of excitement building in the organization in anticipation of the conference June 4-6 in Chicago.
Feeling thirsty and adventurous? After all, your evenings are your own at the SEGD Conference, so why not take advantage?
In the spirit of entropy, and an urge to explore (did someone say xplore?), I present to you a few random (but really fun-sounding) ideas for your albeit limited free time during the 2015 SEGD Conference:
Chicago – The late-night crowd at hot dog stand Weiner’s Circle can be a bit boisterous, something that would intimidate most people. But Candidate John Lutz seems to find nourishment – literal and political – there.
Lutz feels his favorite late-night eateryis a great showcase for his common touch
“Design is about process and community, not products.”
Tanner Woodford, co-founder of the Chicago Design Museum and one of Newcity’s Annual Design 50 for 2015, is an irrepressible cheerleader for his city and its design heritage. He says design is about process and community, not products. And he wants to share a few Second City secrets you probably don't know yet. Tanner will open the 2015 SEGD Conference: Experience ChicagoJune 4-6. Join him there!
Chicago—Earlier today, John Lutz nearly announced his candidacy to assumed billions of Internet viewers and his purported Facebook friends: “My name is John Lutz and I’m announcing my candidacy because I’m #goingsomewhere”. An elderly relative was reported as saying, “I’m glad he’s going somewhere. I’d like my basement back.”
Spatial architecture and emergent technology connect in Chicago!
Wendy Fok is a globe-hopping architect, design researcher and tech maverick whose work marries spatial design with exploration of emergent technologies. Winner of the ADC Young Guns Award and one of Perspective’s 40 Under 40, Fok says cross-pollination and creative strategy are where it’s at for her generation of designers. She'll be a featured speaker at the 2015 SEGD Conference: Experience ChicagoJune 4-6, and she's created a video inviting you to join her!
What does the future look like? Who wouldn’t want to know that? But futurist David Zachsays it’s not about predicting—it’s about paying attention to the world around us, noticing patterns and shifts and asking good questions. Zach wants to ask YOU a question: Is there an app for you? Explore the future with Zach at the 2015 SEGD Conference: Experience Chicago June 4-6!
