I have mentioned AIGA Portland’s event “SHIFT: A Green Salon” a couple of times, here and here. The group’s sustainability committee puts on the awesome pecha kucha to spotlight answers to the titular question. At each SHIFT, 10 designers, marketers, scholars, practitioners, or students present, in 5-minute talks, their ideas, thoughts, and solutions across a broad spectrum of design.
SHIFT 4, which takes place on Tuesday, August 24th from 7 to 9:30 pm at Ecotrust, will be an even more exciting one for me: it will feature my presentation titled, “Crowdsourcing & Design: The Case of the Social Book”! I will use the examples of “The Portland Bottom Line” and “Our Portland Story” to highlight how books can connect people and benefit causes. I’ll also present some background on the newly brewing venture that’s been keeping me busy.
With that, come to SHIFT 4! If not for me, then for the 9 other presenters and their talks–judging from the line up and titles, it promises to be yet another fantastic and insightful evening! And if you need even more nudging, come for cupcakes and free beer! AIGA Portland says, “The event includes mingling before and after the presentations, a short Q&A, local snacks, cupcakes from Peach Cheesecake, and free beer if you bring your own mug”.
See you there!
