The DesignThinkers conference is billed as a must-attend for forward-thinking communications and design professionals. RGD’s Conference offers in-depth analyses of trends and best practices in branding, design thinking, design management, communications technologies and user experience. Attendees leave with a reconsidered and refined design or creative process, feeling inspired, refreshed and connected to the creative communications community.
