Responses to Evolvedesign – Roundtable Discussion

  1. I am an Emeritus graphic design professor at Minnesota State University Moorhead. My Question is: Am I allowed to register as faculty? My wife, a homemaker, has also indicated interest in attending. What would be her fee for this event? I await your response, Thank you.

  2. Phil, I will call you to work out all of the wrinkles. I’m so glad you are planning on coming. There will be lots of people (including myself) who will be excited to see you there.

  3. I am a student of the University of Minnesota, but I am not an AIGA member. Am I considered for the student price? If so, how might I register?

  4. Sharon, contact me directly at 952.994.7625 and I’ll take care of you. And thanks for your interest in the event!

  5. As of Wednesday, registration has passed 600 attendees… it looks like we will have a full house. See you all soon.

  6. Hello, I am an AIGA member and a graphic designer living in Minneapolis.

    I am a hearing-impaired person. I already signed up for the event and I would like to have ASL (American Sign Language) interpreters to be present at the EvolveDesign Roundtable discussion. Can that be set up or do I have to request/hire interpreters on my own?

    Thank you and see you soon at the event!

  7. Can I get in for free as a theoretical and conceptual work of Minnesota graphic design?

  8. Will this event be broadcast online or available online at a later date?

  9. Alex, I’m sorry to say I don’t have the ability to help you. So sorry.

    Pete, theoretically and conceptually speaking, you’ll have to purchase a ticket like everyone else. (:

    Ryan, we are video recording the event. We’re not clear how that edited video will be used at this moment.

  10. I keep trying to register for the event online, but I get a message that says, “Sorry, but that page could not be loaded. Please use your browser’s Back button to return to the previous page or use the site navigation to go to another section of the website.” I’ve tried two different browsers and another computer. Will tickets be sold at the door?

  11. I’m noticing quite a few people have had trouble registering online. I deeply apologize for the trouble, but others have had success when they tried again. We have had a lot of interest in this event so it may be due to the intense last-minute traffic. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

  12. We’ve now hit 700 registered attendees!

  13. Are tickets still available at the door for this evening’s event?

  14. Even though we have technically sold out, we anticipate not everyone holding a ticket will come, so yes, we will sell tickets at the door.
