Make powerful connections
"Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders" is designed exclusively for design executives who work with designers or clients to develop strategic responses to client challenges-in the form of a comprehensive communication or positioning strategy, or the design of a range of products or services. This select group of senior-level creative leaders will come together to discuss, network, debate and grow with each other.

I found the experience to be one of the most fulfilling and meaningful experiences of my professional and academic career.  -Debbie Millman, 2003 participant

Who should participate?
