It’s certainly no secret that we’re huge fans of GDC, the national design association in Canada, and the various events they produce. So, I’d like to encourage any and all creative professionals that work within the communication design industry in and around Vancouver (yes, that includes you graphic designers too) to attend the upcoming 2009 Salazar Awards featuring a special keynote presentationby the briliant Michael Osborne of MODSF at Emily Carr on May 8th. Last year’s event was a total sell out, so reserve your Salazar tickets before it’s too late.

That same weekend is GDC’s annual POGO Conference—which stands for Perspectives, Opportunities, Guidance, and Open-learning—including rare studio tour opportunities, creative workshops, and portfolio critiques by some of Vancouver’s leading design experts. This weekend of learning represents a unique and powerful opportunity for recent design grads, young designers looking for advice, or aging design wonks just looking for some fresh perspectives and networking opportunities. Last year a few attendees landing terrific jobs as a result of attending the portfolio reviews alone!
