About Our Events | AIGA Charlotte

Buzz is a our early morning meet-up event where we discuss design topics over coffee. Charlotte area creatives come out to learn from one another and share knowledge they already have. Everyone’s voice matters and together we can build a stronger Charlotte design community. Buzz topics change monthly. Past topics have included self-promotion, typography, paper selection, inspiration, freelance vs. full-time, and much more.
