How Design Live 2018 was by far the largest and most expansive conference I've been to. The four-day event featured talks focused on design, packaging, branding, and marketing, but also topics that go beyond these such as strategy, negotiating techniques, intellectual property theft, and pitching. I was able hear about more subjects than I had been exposed to in a conference setting like this before. I felt myself gaining a deeper understanding of design and marketing throughout the whole experience.
