A conference highlighting talent cultivated in the Midwest.
The heart of our country is filled with vibrant creative people. A vision, spurred by superstar designers Tad & Jessica Carpenter, began of a place where we would celebrate these people, their stories and their approach to creativity. Alongside members of Carpenter Collective and AIGA KC, we planned a two-day conference to showcase these people, inspire designers from all over the country and share a little midwestern hospitality.
