Portfolio Day Schedule

After-Party at Thee Parkside
We invite you to join us at the Official Portfolio Day After Party! Continue the conversation and relax after a long day. Please head on over to Thee Parkside at 4:30 pm for some beer on us. All ages welcome, you must be over 21 to drink, and you will be carded at the door. Thee Parkside, 17th Street @ Wisconsin · San Francisco, CA

Keynote Address
In keeping with the theme “New Order of the Ages” our presentation will be encouraging the designers of tomorrow to think big. As designers we need to appeal to people’s highest aspirations. We are the storytellers, the conduit between ideas and action. We not only make things to look good, but have the capacity to decide the ingredients. Our country and our world face intense and immediate challenges. We must rise to meet them. It starts with our philosophical core, emanates through our ideas, and manifests itself through our actions. As designers we must believe in and act on our ability to shape a broader destiny.
