Kara Copeland — “Somehow, it all came together. Flights were booked and hotel reservations were made. Thankfully, everything went off without a hitch. We arrived in Vegas wide-eyed and exhilarated to dive into the event experience. Looking back, I was truly passionate about making this opportunity possible for twenty students, including myself. I focused my attention on the design elements of the conference, and it really fed the fire of passion I feel about designing and organizing events. I observed the wayfinding, signage, branding, website, app, and even the presentation. There were even lights on the walls that cast the wall in pink and blue. All of these things contributed to the design system of the event and the thought that went into all of these things blew my mind.”
