Students and emerging designers, get ready for AIGA Nebraska's 8th annual, single day, design conference.

Me, Myself, & Design challenges the perception of design past the classroom and expands your knowledge on what you thought you knew about the creative industry.

No laptop needed, just bring a notebook, pen, your portfolio (if your wish) and a mind that’s ready to learn!


Lunch is included.
