The challenge and beauty of EGD is that it embraces multiple disciplines and a world of project types and communication issues. Lunch and learn as a group of EGD principals and partners share their insights and experiences in this fascinating field. Reservations for this high-demand lunch are essential; seating is limited to design firm principals and partners. The annual auction of collectibles, art and services benefits SEGD's 21st Century Knowledge Initiative. Come ready to bid high for a good cause!
