What Our Past Attendees Said

Designers, researchers and product leads on what four days at Eventside changed for them.

01 / 02

Daniel Okafor at Eventside

We changed how we run design reviews the week after Eventside. Margaret’s workshop gave us a checklist the whole team still uses.

Elena Marsh at Eventside

I came for the talks and stayed for the hallway. Twenty minutes on my portfolio with someone who hires designers was worth the ticket alone.
