Sometimes you just need a little nudge to keep things moving ahead. That’s where the AIGA San Diego Y Conference comes in. Come get inspired by forward-thinking folk like:
Karim Rashid, Prolific designer
John Boiler & Matt Jarvis, 72andSunny
Nancy Harris Rouemy, Go For It Design
Austin Kleon, A writer who draws.
Y17 will be held at The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice on the beautiful campus of the University of San Diego. There you are, up on a hill overlooking Mission Valley and the waters of Mission Bay. Wow. You can't help but be inspired.

We understand if you just book a one-way ticket. San Diego is just that sort of place. (Some of us came here on vacation and never left.)
Over the past few years, San Diego has grown to become the nation's eighth largest city. Nowhere is this more evident than in Downtown, where recent development has provided a vibrant place for people to live, work and play. Leading economic sectors in the county include defense, biotechnology/biosciences, computer sciences, electronics manufacturing, software development, telecommunications, wireless research, and tourism.
Many people know San Diego for the San Diego Zoo (pandas and koalas) and Sea World (Shamu). But San Diego may be best known for its beaches. Visiting Ocean Beach is like a trip back in time to 1969 with its collection of funky shops, health food restaurants and live music. Head up the coast to Windansea Beach in La Jolla where you can sit under a hut and watch some of the city's best surfers hit the waves. Then enjoy a scenic drive along Torrey Pines Road, take in the beauty of the Salk Institute by Louis I. Kahn and be sure to check out the Torrey Pines Gliderport where paragliders and hang gliders launch off the sheer cliffs and soar hundreds of feet above the Pacific in free flight.
There's so much to do. The wild flowers will be blooming in the desert. Tijuana beckons south of the border. And Coronado is just a short ferry ride (or breathtaking drive across the bridge) from Downtown. Trust us, you'll want to stay a day or two after the Y. (Heck, make it a whole week.)

,html: 'Yeah, we all love listening to great speakers too. But what really makes the Y-Conference different are the Thinkshops. They’re your opportunity to learn something new, interact with fellow attendees, and maybe even get your hands a little messy. Thinkshops are small intimate workshops with usually less than 25 people. Thinkshops will only be offered on Saturday.
Bennett Peji is a specialist in civic branding and design. And he speaks around the globe on the subject. Find out how you can market yourself as a speaker in your particular area of expertise.

Clients & Profits' Cindy Westen will lead a back-to-basics discussion on managing your studio the smart way. Studio Management 101 will show you the top 10 secrets you need to know to run a smart studio: managing the jobs, tracking the costs, and getting paid for the value you bring to your clients. You'll see how to take a holistic approach to the juggling the business side of being creative, and learn the Holy Trinity of Studio Success—estimates, change orders and purchase orders.
You'll also learn how to look out for the pitfalls that sink even the best creative houses and see the tools to make your studio rock.
Driven to jump without a parachute, Jeff has quit some pretty good jobs over his career and never once had the next one lined up. Consequently, his heady brew of a Thinkshop will connect the dots between craft and trade to reveal how cross discipline is nourishing.
Back by popular demand. Amy presents her ever-popular hands-on Screenprinting Thinkshop. Here you’ll have the opportunity to print a design of your own making.
You are your own most valuable asset. What you do elevates business, supports financial goals, helps companies grow and amplifies messages for clients and their causes. Now, it’s your time to fly. Spread your wings and soar to your own lofty ambitions. You have the power; we’ll deliver some flight plans.
Máximo — responsible for the branding of Y9 MoxY — leads this hands-on Thinkshop that instigates participants to create precious sculpture from salvaged bent wire. Bring a fluid mind and some needle-nose pliers; we’ll bring the rest.
Get off the computer and reconnect with your hand skills. Invigorate your creative drive, learn about hard cover / soft spines, pamphlet stitch signatures and book cloth for flexible spines. Create your own beautiful handmade book!
"+ "$20 additional materials fee. Must bring exacto knife, cutting mat and — if you’ve got one — a “folding bone”.
Artistic inspiration and Fine Art resourcing collides with this informative Thinkshop that prepares you to understand how to create rich, informative video media for your next project
