Join AIGA Maine for the 2026 Design Fest Conference, a full-day gathering of designers, creatives, and thinkers from across Maine and beyond. This year’s theme, Curiosity, invites us to explore the questions, experiments, and unexpected paths that shape creative work and community.

Set at the Portland Museum of Art, the conference will feature a mix of talks, roundtables, and opportunities to connect with fellow creatives at every stage of their careers.

We’re also building in a little adventure: attendees will have the option to take a short trip to Bold Magazine Shop to pick up some Maine Design Fest swag.

Whether you’re looking to learn something new, meet your people, or simply spend a day immersed in design, this is for you.

This is a full day of inspiration at the PMA, with:

• Talks from designers, illustrators, and creative leaders
• Interactive roundtable discussions
• Networking with Maine’s creative community
• A special off-site swag pickup experience
• Lunch

More details, including our speaker lineup, will be announced soon. Visit MaineDesignFest.org for the latest.
