Brand New Conference, Speaker Change
Due to a recent conflict of schedule that involves a joyful family occasion, Howard Belk of Siegel+Gale will not be able to speak at the Brand New Conference this September. We are sad that we won’t be able to hear from Howard but we are very excited about his replacement. Filling in a small void, well two voids, that we had in the original line-up — in-house representation and techie subject matter — we’ve tapped Ben Barry and Everett Katigbak, both the first Communication Designers hired at Facebook (2008), who have been responsible for building the visual internal culture there which is gradually seeping into the outside world. Following is a quick interview with both designers, which we are aiming to follow-up with interviews of the other speakers. Facebook̵
