IDUG Tips and Tricks In-Person Meetup at CreativePro Week

Join us for our first in-person meetup in nearly five years. Reconnect face to face, exchange ideas, and rediscover the energy of being together in the same room.
Three of our most popular presenters—David Blatner, Erica Gamet, and Nigel French—along with additional InDesign experts from around the world—will exchange a rapid fire series of valuable tips, tricks, and insights making your work faster and easier.
This event will be held live, in person at CreativePro Week in Nashville, and will also be livestreamed for free. (A conference pass is required for in-person attendance.) All in-person attendees will be entered into prize drawings, including items from David Blatner’s personal collection of books and design materials, extra CreativePro resources, and more. In addition, all attendees will receive a free IDUG T-shirt just for joining our mailing list.
Come network with your peers, learn new InDesign techniques, and get inspired at the IDUG Meetup at CreativePro Week!
