CC - Other Creative Talk Events

TED Talks

TED Conferences LLC is a media organization that posts talks online for free distribution under the slogan "ideas worth spreading." TED was conceived by Richard Saul Wurman in February 1984 as a conference which has been held annually since 1990

Logo Design Notes:

• Bright colour that is distinctive when paired with the logotype.
• Even and strong type, keeping the focus on the content of each talk rather than the brand as a whole.
• Gives a visual representation of the equality of the importance of each of the talks that are given, they believe each of the ideas are worth spreading as much as any of the others. 

Glug Creative Networking

GLUG describe themseleves as a 'notworking' event, in which they provide creative talks worldwide, in an informal manner, and use alcohol vouchers as participant encouragment, breaking the ice.

Based around a series of talks and informal networking, Glug has become one of the most exciting, credible and well-attended creative events around.

We started in 2007 as a handful of mates talking shop and showing their work and reels off in an East London pub. Nine years later and we're an international movement with events in many cities around the world.

We’ve had names such as Anthony Burrill, Brendan Dawes, Design Studio, Dixon Baxi, Facebook, Future Deluxe, IDEO, Google Creative Labs, I Love Dust, Jason Bruges Studio, ustwo, Social Chain, Animade, Noma Bar, Uber, Wolff Olins and many more.

Alongside our regular Glugs, we’ve also run events in conjunction with BIMA, D&AD, Adobe, WeTransfer, PickMeUp and charities such as Shelter. We like to have fun. 

Logo Design Notes:

• Colourful and bright design, reflecting the light hearted and fun nature of the event itself.
• Exciting environments represented in a modern and simplistic design, keeping up with the changes in design and watch fresh and new content for their events.

Ladies, Wine and a bit of Design

Ladies, Wine Design was started by Jessica Walsh after this happened and she realized that sometimes women can be competitive or unsupportive of one another. Only a small percent of creative directors are women, and LW&D wants to help change this through mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, talks, and creative meet-ups. In less than two years of launching, we've spread to chapters in over 200 cities all over the world. If you’re a student or creative in NYC and would like to join, please do email us. If you want to join another city chapter's event, check out our city map.
