Say Anything: To Spec or Not To Spec…That Is The Question!
1835 E. 6th St., Suite 18
Tempe, AZ
Has spec work become the bane of the 21st century graphic designer? From design contests to logo competitions; we've seen them all. But is this practice ethical? Come join us at July's Say Anything as we discuss this hot-button trend in today's business world.
Say Anything is a roundtable discussion for independent designers, business owners, freelancers etc. The topics will change from month to month, ranging from: contracts, pricing, marketing, finances, taxes, and other business issues. This event is open to members and non-members, with the free incentive offered only to AIGA members.
Please let us know if you'd like to attend — RSVP to programs@arizona.aiga.org. If you do RSVP and are unable to attend, PLEASE e-mail your cancellation by Monday, July 13 at 11 a.m. Say Anything can be a packed house, and we can offer your seat to another eager person if you let us know in time.

I'm in. I'd love to hear the reasoning from the "pro-spec" camp.

Awesome. I'd love to invite an ad rep from our office to join in. We do a bunch of spec work.

Marvin, thanks for letting me know about the email address - I think it's fixed :)

I'm planning to be there. p.s. You need to fix the link on the RSVP e-mail, it's missing the last "g".

I think this one is going to be an interesting - and lively - discussion. It's been a big topic at SXSW and the AIGA leadership retreat. I'm looking forward to it.
