  • 09/13/23: ASK + GIVE

    Night City is thrilled to host AIGA Chicago’s September ASK + GIVE!

    An open-mic networking event where you can ASK your fellow designers to GIVE you feedback, advice, or even recommendations. Because we know that the design community has ALL the wisdom needed to solve the current problems/issues our fellow designers have or will face in the future.

    Be it through a lived experience anecdote, a resource name or even a contact, maybe even just a donation of time to listen to an issue, we all have the power to create change if we simply ASK or GIVE.
