2021 Exhibition and Experience Design

We're excited to announce the return of SEGD's Exhibition + Experience event launching Wednesday, August 4 and Thursday, August 5!

The event will kick off on Wednesday, August 4, with VIP in-person tours—in Washington, DC—that give local DMV attendees a behind-the-scenes view of the most highly anticipated exhibitions and interactive installations of 2020 and 2021, including the acclaimed Planet Word, the National Museum of the U.S. Army and the International Spy Museum, ending with a happy hour reception.

Thursday, August 5, begins the virtual event with a facilitated design thinking exercise that will prime the SEGD community for the discussions ahead.

Finally, it wouldn’t be an SEGD event without the opportunity to network and interface with members of our warm and talented community. We will have 3 networking breakout sessions during the virtual symposium.
