Join us for our conference, Contrastes Relevantes. One day, six speakers, plus opening and closing parties.
Contrastes Relevantes showcases the professional and personal life experiences of six designers, primarily of Hispanic and Latino origins.
The Hispanic community plays a large part in the culture of San Antonio. As creatives, we represent and elevate our cultures, communities, and those causes we stand for. AIGA San Antonio and Contrastes Relevantes aspire to give the Hispanic creative community a platform to share their experiences with the intent of bringing together the different cultures and disciplines that drive major change and progress.
