AIGA works with the conference chair to select the firms that design the conference collateral, including the website and all printed material. This year, AIGA and conference chair Doug Powell chose Altitude, a San Francisco-based creative agency led by Brian Singer, to develop the conference identity, print collateral, website and signage.

AIGA greatly appreciates the ongoing efforts of the design team and their extended network of collaborators and thanks them all for their fantastic work!
