AIGA Incite/Insight
Incite/Insight is dedicated to how ideas spark the actions that spark ideas. Each year we focus on areas or aspects of design that have made a difference in our society, our culture, our times. Incite/Insight examines what is stimulating, provocative, fresh and new; and provides a launch pad for thought, a forum for discussion and the prompt for even better design.

This event will be modeled after the National Conference’s 20/20 Series where 20 designers each get 60 seconds to relay a message (totaling 20 minutes of presentations). We will define a theme and allow a limited number of members to sign up to present. This event will be an excellent opportunity to relax and socialize with members of the community.
