Core77 Designing Here/Now Conference 2016
For the second year in a row, Core77’s 2016 Designing Here/Now Conference in September provided similar thrills from previous years, while also focusing on fresh insight into the evolving, collaborative landscape of design today. This year’s co-creation theme opened up doors to fascinating talks intersecting design with other fields, on top of a number of eye-opening and meaningful experiences attendees shared together. From a day’s worth of presentations by trailblazing designers, to workshops exploring less-discussed topics in relation to the future of design, to tours giving inside access to fun or rarely-seen destinations like L.A.’s SkySlide and the elusive Hyperloop One headquarters, the conference was a 2-day celebration and educational experience not to be missed.
Day 1: Morning Check-In
Last year’s conference at Vibiana in downtown L.A. went over so well we decided to do it all over again!

Name badge wall
After signing in, attendees scavenged for their name badge on our magnetized conference wall, which also got people interacting and talking.
Volunteers
Core77’s passionate troupe of volunteers ranged from eager design students ready to meet designers in the industry to several friendly, curious creatives.
This year’s conference was filled with attendees from past years along with a number of new faces from around the world.
