Shaping the Future – The Stream for Mid- to Senior Career Professionals

After years of travel filled with detours, taking the scenic route and enjoying the ride, it's natural to think, “what now? What's new? What's next?”. Join us at Creative Directions to engage with fellow senior design professionals as they explore the opportunities and challenges that come with time spent in the design industry and ask where we go from here.

*Creative Directions delegates can attend presentations from any stream. Though you may find the presentations in this stream most fitting, you're welcome to attend others as well.
