AIGA MN Design Camp® Website


The Design Camp Committee organizes one of the largest regional design conferences in the country, AIGA Minnesota Design Camp®.

Since 1980, Design Camp has been held annually in northern Minnesota and has set the standard for design conferences nationwide. Design Camp is a unique conference where we take our profession and passion to the great outdoors. We pair premier thinkers, speakers, and design icons with the beauty of northern Minnesota to give you a full weekend to refresh and jumpstart your creativity.

Opening on a Friday and closing on a Sunday, the day-to-day schedule consists of speakers, workshops, and activities to both teach specific skills, and relax your creativity and let your mind wander. Limited to 300 attendees, Design Camp will gather designers, artists, art directors, copywriters, web developers, students, educators, and other creative-minded folks who are ready to learn from each other.
