COLOR CONFERENCE NYC | 2011 – A Success!

The entire COLOURlovers Team spent the better half of last week at Print’s COLOR CONFERENCE in NYC. This was the first year of the event and I can definitely say we look forward to many more!

Aaron & Darius (aka Bubs) | “Creative Differences” 

As the event organizer, Print had the tough job of narrowing down what topics would be covered to rein in color at its finest. Topics ranged from color trending to a variety of looks at color in product design to how color affects our lives on personal levels, business and even non-profit. Between some great speakers, fun activities and CMYK Cocktails, I’d say we all had a wonderful time discovering color in ways we hadn’t thought of before. It was truly intriguing to meet and talk to so many people interested in color and who work with it in a variety of fields. From those who deal with it broadly between science and art, every attendee brought a unique addition to the conference.

If you’d like a full rundown on the happenings, see blogpost, Viva Color at Print’s First Color Conference  – great images of the CMYK Cocktails, the speakers panel and many fun candid shots.
