Round Table Discussion on Value-Based and Other Pricing Models
Registration info will be shared soon. We give those who've attended events previously time to claim their spots first, as well as time for the Union Club members to register early. The Union Club is hosting us again. Seating is limited. Join other creatives to discuss the various pricing models, the pros and cons, and which one might be best for you. We'll also be discussing payment collection strategies. What we do, what we know others do, and what's working and not working for collecting payments in full and on time. This is a more relaxed meeting format. We'll share some videos on the subject in the Facebook group that you can watch ahead of time in order to come with more in-depth perspectives and questions.Save the date!

Not everyone understands what design is or the many different types of design. From directional signs at a conference to the road signs in cities, we rely on and trust that signs will help direct us where we need to go, even in this age of GPS. Even a GPS can't eliminate confusion or getting lost.
