AIGA’s Design Educators Conference, “New Contexts / New Practices,” to be held October 8–10, 2010 in Raleigh, North Carolina at NC State University, will generate and publish ideas about how design education will address the defining trends of contemporary practice and culture. This authoring conference will build consensus and action plans for where we should be heading if graphic design is to remain relevant in the 21st century and if we are to achieve the competencies outlined in AIGA Defining the Designer of 2015.
