The best design is all about balance. Think cutting-edge and classic. Refined and chaotic. Timeless and timely.

As weâve been working on the lineup for this yearâs Dieline Conference, weâve been thinking a lot about trendsâand as it turns out, thatâs another area where balance is absolutely critical.

As creative practitioners, itâs essential that we stay on top of trends. And thatâs why at Dieline Conference on Oct. 20, weâll be book-ending the entire event with the two-part 2023 Dieline Trend Report. Dieline Founder and CEO Andrew Gibbs will kick things off with a discussion of the emerging materials and sustainable design trends for the coming year and beyond, and Dieline Partner Jessica Deseo will close the show by detailing innovative trends in package design and branding.
