HOW Design Live, one of the largest and most important events for creative professionals in design and marketing, has officially opened registration for its 2017 conference to be held May 2-6, 2017 at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, Il.

This year's show boasts more than 80 educational sessions, 100 speakers, 13 keynote speakers, nearly 100 vendors and brand new Workshops and Master Classes designed to create an inspirational and hands-on learning environment.
Here at HOW Design Live we spend quite a bit of time thinking about what role we play in the design profession and how we can make a difference in the careers and lives of our attendees by creating a remarkable conference experience said Gary Lynch, Vice President and Group Show Director, HOW Events. Over the past several months we've been listening, learning and planning to make sure HOW Design Live 2017 not only far exceeds expectations, but is the best conference we've ever created. We are confident that no one will be disappointed.
Malcolm Gladwell, DeeDee Gordon, Jeffrey Zeldman, Natasha Jen, Mauro Porcini, Seymour Chwast, Kelli Anderson, Brian Collins, Timothy Goodman, and Pum Lefebure, are among the luminaries headlining the event. Attendees will also hear from and engage with leadership at global brands such as Starbucks, SC Johnson, Coca-Cola, GE, CVS Health and The Hershey Company.
New programming includes the IHAF In-House Masters Series comprised of the IHAF Master Class and CMO Strategy Sessions, a two-part offering for creative contributors and corporate executives. Creative entrepreneurs at all levels will enjoy the Get Better Clients Bootcamp, presented by Marketing Mentor. All workshops are designed to create forums to exchange insights and experiences with content intended to cultivate community and influence collaboration.
Individuals, groups or students wishing to consume everything the event has to offer should consider the Big Ticket registration, which provides access to all breakout sessions, Keynotes, Master Classes, Exhibit Hall and receptions for all five days.
