The small-talks quarterly series delivers an intimate venue intended to connect to others, to see what they are doing, and how they’re doing it. Some speakers will be household names and others will have managed to maintain a lower profile. Either way, all will challenge you to think a bit differently about design and its impact on this region.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://aigaportland.org/events/designspeaks">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
