February 28, 2022

Your weekly email of upcoming design and creativity meet-ups, conferences, workshops, and exhibitions around the world! Find all upcoming events on neonmoire.com

Welcome to Issue 199.

Virtual event platforms are moving to flexible spaces. So you can move freely between groups. As you would do at an IRL networking event. Airmeet just announced Fluid Space where virtual boundaries are removed so you can interact more naturally. The re-branding of Wonder by digital agency Design Studio focuses on moving freely between spaces. All with delightful illustrations made by Jordan Kay.

What type of space do you prefer? Grid spaces (Zoom and alike), text-based spaces (Vito and alike), or fluid spaces?
