The Venue

The 25th annual Y Design Conference will be at The Alexandria at Torrey Pines.

Thinkshops

The Y Design Conference offers unique Thinkshops. They provide the opportunity to learn something new, interact with fellow attendees, learn about the business of design and maybe even get your hands a little messy. Our “Shops” are small intimate sessions limited to 25 people or less.
