Initially, I was pretty disappointed to learn that I wouldn’t be able to attend HOW Design Live in Boston this year.
My disappointment was short-lived, however, because I learned that I can see some of my heroes—such as Malcolm Gladwell, Aaron Draplin and Brian Wood—present at HOW Design Live Online, June 9-22! Plus, all attendees will have the opportunity to chat live with incredible design experts such as Andy Epstein, Nancye Green and Michael Donovan.
HOW Design Live Online features the top 23 best videos recorded at the conference, as well as the opportunity to chat with speakers up close and personal. From web design tutorials to presentations on typography, package design, branding, in-house management, freelance design and more, HDL online is the perfect way to enjoy—or relive—the conference from anywhere with an internet connection.
The video presentations will be available June 9-22, and many of the speakers will be available to chat live online throughout that time. Register for HOW Design Live Online here.
