How, what and why
Under this slogan hides the AGI Congress, today, perhaps the best graphic design conference.
There is little to say and much to expect of this great conference organized by Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI). Two days of intensive debate, loaded with micro conferences followed by rich discussions on actual and future trends of graphic design. It is in this kind of event where you can better gauge the overall state of the sector. The AGI, association of designers, is actually an elite club in which members choose each year to its new members, based on the impact and quality of their work on identity, typography and communication.
It is difficult to single out someone, so we leave the list to whet your interest. The price is not expensive considering the quality and quantity of the figures will gather on Monday at the Coliseum in Barcelona, a few meters from Passeig de Gràcia.
