As I announced a few months ago, The SEGD is holding thier annual conference and expo, I'm going on Friday. Most here would not benifit much from it, but there are a few chance to network and at least educate yourself on project most here want to do, but don't know how to get into. The following could have been a good chance to show what you can do and get an idea that there is good work going on out there. Here are a few things going on Friday. For more information on the SEGD (Society of Environmental Graphic Designers) go to www.segd.org
