It is most useful for experiential, environmental graphics and wayfinding designers and strategists, since the program was themed around place, community and convergence across disciplines, and was co-chaired by practitioners from Dimensional Innovations and Demeter Strategy Design. Designers seeking deep technical training or a large product exhibit floor would get less, as the published facts describe a themed, discipline-crossing gathering held in a single downtown hotel.

Design professionals typically dress in smart casual with a creative edge, such as dark denim, stylish layers and comfortable shoes. Kansas City in late October can be cool, so a light jacket helps.
