You should bring yourself and any alter egos you might have (as long as they’ve already registered). Just kidding! We will be providing pens and writing pads plus a whole bunch of other goodies. So you should be good. Please bring some form of photo ID to identify yourself when you register.
You should definitely bring your business cards and any leave behind items you have. We are setting up a table where you can drop off a couple of these items, if someone walks by and likes what you did, they are free to take it. Not to mention, this is a great environment for networking, so you should have your business cards on hand for that too!

The A Day in the Life Conference is an exclusive design event to be held in Baltimore, Maryland, at Brown Center in the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) on Saturday, April 24, 2010. The A Day in the Life Conference was established to give design professionals and students within the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area an opportunity to come together in a cohesive environment in order to focus on the advances and challenges of the design profession and network with fellow creative professionals.
This unique event will break into small group sessions (you get to choose what you attend) to hear presentations and actively discuss important topics such as The Business of Design, The Art of Branding, The Green Movement & The Creative Industry and more. We’re featuring guest speakers including Ellen Lupton (curator of contemporary design), Jill Tanenbaum (President and Creative Director of Jill Tanenbaum Graphic Design & Advertising Inc.), Brian Hock (award winning designer and co-owner of DesignID) and more.
In the afternoon, we wil feature a Creative Jam Session, a unique space of exhibitors and inspiration stations where attendees can network, mix and mingle.
Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be provided.
The sole purpose of the conference is to rejuvenate the creative spirit in the design profession, foster an environment for networking, and offer opportunities for learning. The first of its kind in Baltimore, this event intends to set the bar and further bring attention to the innovative energy that thrives in the city.
