SMG Event: Unleash Disruption

Consumer research firm SMG holds its annual FORUM conference to gather clients in a non-competitive environment where they can learn from industry experts, renowned speakers, and each other. The 2017 theme, UNLEASH DISRUPTION, communicated the dramatic mind shift suggested by the conference’s keynote speaker. TCD created a look and feel for the event and brought the event to life through stage design, signage, direct mail, emails, an event website, branded premium items, presentation slides, video, and more.
