Bluesky 09 examines the theme IN/OUT – a look at inspiration and how it's manifested in our work. Visit bluesky.gdc.net for complete information!

From October 16-18, 2009, five industry-leading professionals – from all corners of the design world – will be on hand to share their ideas and work. A juried awards show will showcase the best and brightest. And an open poster exhibition will allow participants to share their interpretation of the IN/OUT theme.

Did we mention beautiful venues, excellent food and connections with friends new and old?

Full invitations will be arriving in the mail at the end of August!
