Geekend 2009
Nov 6-8

What’s Geekend? Straight from the geek squad, “An annual gathering of the geek tribe in Savannah, Georgia. Geekend is what you might call an interactive conference with some truly awesome parties. It’s the kind of event that you’ll be texting, tweeting and Facebooking from and all your friends back home will be super jealous.”

Cari Clark Phelps / Clark Creative teamed up with Janna DeVylder / SCAD, Andrew Davies / Paragon, Ariel Janzen / brightwhitespace to present the session entitled “How to be a Great (Interrogator) Designer.” We presented a 30 minute presentation about simple how-to’s for clients and designers alike. What questions to ask or prepare for, how to make a project stand out to generate results, consideration of the environment in which work will be placed, and subjects including context and competition were discussed.

And we made the front page of the (insert Exchange Section) Savannah Morning News!

With plans to attend another session if only 10 people showed up, we were pleasantly surprised to have a packed room with attendees overflowing the provided seating, making a comfortable spot on the floor and leaning up against the back and side walls. Thanks to all those who showed their support!
