Since 1980, design icons have gathered in Minnesota to celebrate the wonder and joy of design.
Our state's first design conference, organized by the Minnesota Graphic Designers Association (MGDA, later AIGA Minnesota), took place in 1980 at Lutsen Resort on the North Shore of Lake Superior. In the decades since, moving from Lutsen to Ruttgers Bay Lake Resort to Nisswa's Grand View Lodge and later Madden’s on Gull Lake in Brainerd, Design Camp® has presented top keynote speakers including design legends Louise Fili, Milton Glaser, Doyald Young, Gail Anderson, and Paula Scher, as well as next-generation leaders like Zipeng Zhu, Renee Reid, Andy J. Pizza, and Martina Flor.
