The tours!

THE TOURS:

TOUR A: SpotCo and Complex
TOUR B: Inc. and W
TOUR C: Self and ESPN

 

BRING WITH YOU:
a government-issued photo I.D. for access to office buildings
money for your entry fee (if applicable), lunch and possible subway travel
a notebook for notes and a bag since you'll be getting handouts and magazines
umbrella/raingear and comfortable shoes since we'll be walking to the different offices

Leave the résumés and portfolios at home ... we'll be conducting Portfolio Reviews in the next few weeks where you'll have a chance to show it off.


THE FINE PRINT
Space is limited so RSVP asap! Your tour preferences are just that; in other words, they are not guaranteed. Tours are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis ... so the earlier you RSVP, the better chance you have of getting your top choice. This also means that if you are part of a large group registering, you may not all get assigned the same tour.

QUESTIONS?
Email 'em to us at spdrsvp@gmail.com.

Hosted By

The Society of Publication Designers (SPD)



First and foremost, SPD is a membership organization dedicated to promoting and encouraging excellence in editorial design across all print and digital platforms.

Our members are art directors, designers, photo editors, photographers, illustrators and information graphics professionals, editors and students. Since drafting its charter in 1965, SPD remains the only organization specifically addressing the visual concerns of print and digital editorial professionals, whether that be journalism, storytelling, service or more. Editorial design plays a crucial role in shaping and documenting our common history; as such, the efforts of the Society serve to educate and enlighten our members, their fans, and the general public about the importance of magazines.

We love magazines and the people who make them, however they’re printed, called-up on your screen, or ported on your iPad.
