BREAKFAST CLUB:
AIGA/NY’s casual morning get-together for the sharing of knowledge and the drinking of coffee.*
*(or tea)

Starting with Breakfast Club NO.1 in October, we will meet on the second Tuesday of every month for coffee, a nibble, and spirited conversation. Each Breakfast Club will have a topic of focus that will be introduced by a discussion leader. Our conversations will cover the range of creative, financial, and pragmatic challenges that designers too often face alone—challenges that can often be overcome with open, casual dialogue. Muffins and croissants and amazing Mud coffee will be provided.

Breakfast Club is open to AIGA members only and is a free event.
