On August 23-24, 2018, multidisciplinary designers will convene in the nation’s capital for the only comprehensive event dedicated to exhibition and experience design. SEGD (Society for Experiential Graphic Design) will host the ever-popular SEGD Exhibition & Experience Design event at the new Museum of the Bible in southwest Washington, D.C.
The city, home to dozens of museums, is the perfect setting for the two-day event that brings together participants, experts and the new guard of exhibition and experience design to tour, connect, discuss and discover best practices, technologies, projects and key areas of interest in the field.
“This year is the third in our series of bi-annual Exhibition & Experience Design events,” remarks Clive Roux, CEO of SEGD. “This event keeps growing in popularity and this time around, we are highlighting up-and-coming designers under forty who are doing amazing work.”
The agenda was specially developed to provide valuable insights to the full range of participants from designers, curators, technology integrators, and fabricators to design faculty and students who want to elevate their practice through learning from and connecting to the community.
The 2018 SEGD Exhibition & Experience event will kick off Thursday, August 23 with a series of optional morning and afternoon tours, followed by a local D.C. SEGD Chapter-hosted social mixer. Friday, August 24 the group will focus on engaging dialogues, sessions and speakers.
