DESIGN + TECH: STORIES OF COLLABORATION FROM THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Are you a designer or developer (student or professional) looking for a partner in crime? Are you looking for a collaborator to help turn your ideas for client work, a personal project, or a new venture into a reality? Join us at General Assembly for the opportunity to hear from an inspiring line-up of design and tech teams as they share both work and process stories from their creative endeavors.

You’ll also have the opportunity to pitch your projects and meet other members of the design and tech communities with drinks to follow, so be sure to bring your business cards—and charm—in spades.

Co-presenters include:
