Design Tech Summit Recap

Share

Part of High Point Market’s event lineup was Design Tech Summit. Over three days and three tracks we saw and heard about an amazing roundup of Apps, platforms and software designed and built just for the design industry. Founded by Katy Garrett, Connexion Software and inspired by the Tech industry’s Bake-Off, DTS gave designers a panoramic view of what was available and created a sense of urgency that if you weren’t in the digital realm you better get in FAST! Here are my favorite picks from the Summit. Get online and download the ones that catch your eye.
