The Dieline Package Design Conference Schedule


Jumpstart your design revolution at these fascinating, inspiring and energizing sessions that will have you questioning your assumptions about design. You’ll go back to your office bursting with ideas for making your work more innovative, effective and rewarding than ever.

Note: Don’t miss out on optional events like the Studio Tours, Workshops, and Networking Lunch, all available on Friday, June 22. You won’t see them on this agenda because they require an additional fee, but the real-world glimpses into other studios’ daily operations and intensive learning opportunities provided by workshops can take your Conference experience from “phenomenal” to “transformative.”
