SEED. On Friday, January 18, 2008 in Chicago, Jason Fried, Carlos Segura and Jim Coudal will lead a presentation and discussion on design, entrepreneurship, and inspiration.
You'll learn about taking control of your own work, seeking out methods to inspire new ideas, and adopting unconventional ideas about collaboration and business. The SEED conference will fill your head with knowledge you can use.
This isn't about theory, it's about practice. You should attend if you're a designer (print, web, video) or a business-minded soul who's looking to take your creative ideas and turn them into something satisfying and bankable. Anyone creative with an open mind will take away something useful.
The format will be comfortable and open. Some lectures, some networking, and ample time for discussion and interaction. This is a day of active learning, not just idle listening.
The venue will inform the discussion too. The auditorium at the Rem Koolhaas designed Campus Center was built with new ideas and is set amid the historic Mies-designed campus of IIT. The price is $399/person and is limited to 145 attendees. The inital SEED conference sold out quickly.
