Join us for a special in-person event about running a design business.
Whether you are a new freelancer or an experienced agency leader, there are common challenges and opportunities to the business of design. We’ll be sharing frank, behind-the-scenes insights from three top studio leaders on how they launched and grew their business. We’ll be discussing topics like positioning, pricing and profitability, building client relationships, and maintaining sustainable growth. We’ll have plenty of time for discussion, Q&A and networking.
In conjunction with the NYCxDesign Festival, we have assembled a panel of experts who run successful design studios. This event is great for anyone who owns a design business, is thinking of forming one, or freelancers looking to expand their practice. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and learn how to grow your business.
