Nemo Design

This year AIGA celebrates one hundred years of excellence in design. Help kick off the Centennial with a champagne toast, hors d'oeuvres, and dessert at our annual Open House. We'll be gathering at Nemo Design Studio, together with Portland's best designers and design advocates, to discuss the upcoming celebrations - nationwide and in our hometown - and to share in a conversation on the future of design.

Join us for some happy hour mingling, then listen to exciting plans for the upcoming year. The rest of the night, you’ll have the chance to chat one-on-one with board members, pick the brains of volunteers, and find out more about AIGA's role in the Portland community.

Join Marshall Kirkpatrick at the Portland Web Innovators June meeting. Marshall, lead blogger for ReadWriteWeb, will lead a discussion about the potential of web APIs and a critical look at why they may not have lived up to it yet.

Mozilla developer Dietrich Ayala will show the features in Firefox 3.1 and lead a discussion on what the browser of tomorrow should do.

Come see the great stuff your fellow Portlanders have been working on. Several ten minute demos of new products and side projects.

The founders of Toonlet.com will tell their story of having an idea, starting a site, and all the stuff that's quickly happened since.

The June meeting welcomes Upcoming.org founder, Waxy.org proprietor, and brand new Portlander Andy Baio. Andy will talk about his side project (Upcoming), which became a bigger project, which was finally acquired by Yahoo! in 2005.
