Where the Conversation about Design Happens Every two years, the Monterey Design Conference brings together a diverse blend of globally recognized speakers to inspire and educate – all in scenic and vibrant location. In a retreat setting, MDC is your chance to step out of the everyday and into a creative space, networking with colleagues and re-connecting with the ideas and motivations that drew you to the profession from day one. Speakers inspire creativity by sharing their stories, showcasing innovative projects, discussing design philosophy, encouraging risk-taking, exploring cross-disciplinary collaboration, addressing societal challenges. Their insights and experiences can ignite new ideas and perspectives, motivating you to approach your own creative endeavors with passion and purpose.
