Join us at Ecotrust for our third “SHIFT: A Green Salon” to hear 10 five-minute presentations from creatives and innovators that are making visual communications better and more sustainable. This inspiring and educational evening will also include a short Q&A, mingling, and giveaways – while enjoying fresh local cupcakes from Peach Cheesecake and 52 Ltd. and beer, which is *free* if you bring your own mug and are older than Taylor Swift.
