Seed Conference Three-peat

The third edition of the SEED Conference is headed your way on June 6th, brought to you from the minds at 37Signals, Coudal Partners, Segura, Inc.

The SEED Conference theme this time around is learning about taking control of your own work by seeking out methods to inspire new thinking and adopting unconventional ideas about collaboration and business. The idea being to get past the theory and start taking real steps towards making your own products and building your business.

According to the conference site: You should attend if you’re a designer (print, web or video) or a business-minded soul who is looking to take creative ideas and turn them into something satisfying & bankable. Anyone creative with an open mind will take away something useful. This is a day of active learning, not just idle listening.

The day will consist of six presentations: Carlos Segura (Segura, Inc.), Jason Fried (37Signals), Jim Coudal (Coudal Partners), Jake Nickell and Jeffrey Kalmikoff (skinnyCorp - Threadless), Edward Lifson (NPR), and Gary Vaynerchuk (WineLibrary TV - Cork’d).
