Be is SEGD’s premier event focusing on the nexus and state of brand, identity, and place showcasing the power of branded environments and experiences and how they are activating and transforming the places we live, play, work, and rest in! This year be will feature a diverse matrix of globally connected speakers working across all industries who will share their experiences, insights, case studies, and lessons learned on how they leveraged the power of brand for their clients, users, and the spaces they intersect with. Attendees of SEGD Be will be a part of a day long journey that slices though the various market segments of brand through a series of curated talks, moderated discussions, focused trend roundtables, and networking with peers and the movers advancing brand and identity in the built environment.

Speakers from RTKL, Gensler, Populous, Thinkwell, Prophet, Holmes Wood, Graham Hanson Design, and many others will be joining us as part of the day. Whether you are local to California or a plane ride from LAX, you can’t miss out on this event!
