Join us for an informal Q&A with event designer Kristin Banta


At a time when social media is driving the client's vision, how can you deliver a unique interpretation of the inspiration you're being presented? How can you push a client (whether that be wedding, social or corporate) beyond what's currently trending in the market in order to tell a story, generating greater depth and dimension to the event design? We will examine 2019/2020 client case studies, each presenting their own various challenges, while discussing the design process by walking through client tear sheets to the end design. Through the process, attendees will gain a better understanding of how to design beyond Pinterest's greatest hits and sell that vision to their client.
