The goal of SF Design Week is to raise public awareness of Design and, more importantly, San Francisco Bay Area Design including but not limited to: Graphic, Industrial, Interactive, Interior, Fashion, Architecture, Advertising, etc. & to showcase and celebrate design’s impact and value in business innovation and efforts towards sustainability, social impact, human rights and political reform.

The upcoming San Francisco Design Week http://aigasf.org/events/designweek is from 15 to 20 June. It sounds like it will be a good opportunity for industrial and brand designers in SF to get together.

The opening event, seminars, studio visits and movie night should all be fun. It also coincides with the Design Management Institute’s annual conference on brand and innovation: www.dmi.org/dmi/html/conference/brandde … erence.htm so there will be lots of interesting people around.

If anyone is interested in meeting up beforehand then tweet me on www.twitter.com/peterjthomson or reply below on core77 so we can arrange a coffee.
