2019 ABQ Design Summit · New MexicoAIGA New Mexico

The ABQ Design Summit is an annual two-day design conference hosted by AIGA, the professional association for design. This year's speakers and workshops will be centered around the theme of "Focus," zooming in on what makes New Mexico and our creative community unique. Together, we'll explore what it means to bring definition to our careers, see design issues clearly, and elevate the southwest as a focal point of design.

You spoke, we listened. Based on feedback from last year's Design Summit, Friday will be a full day spent together listening to speakers and partaking in workshops spearheaded by design leaders across the country. We will return on Saturday with both lecture and workshop tracks to give you the flexibility to choose what you want to learn more about. Stay tuned for the full schedule of events.
