So I applied for an MDP grant to attend the AIGA Y13: Seeds of Change Conference and was happily informed that my grant application was accepted!The conference will take place from March 27-29th, 2008 at the University of San Diego (USD). This year’s conference will be geared towards ideas around sustainability (the big S word). Attendees will be able to explore new and developing paradigms around sustainable culture by attending lectures and through participating in “Thinkshops,” which are sort of a hybrid between dialogue and making workshops.As part of my grant requirement, I will have to give a presentation in our Colloquium upon my return. I’m really interested in attending this conference because my interests right now are leaning towards issues around sustainable urban communities and emerging behaviors around this topic. Perhaps I smell a thesis idea in the air?
hey, congrats! if you’ve never been to the Y conference, you’re in for a treat! i’m helping to plan this year’s event — it’s going to be amazing! see you there!
