More than 50 individuals from around the country will be speaking at Intent/Content, an AIGA Education Conference focusing on design research in higher education institutions. Topics include Tenure and Promotion, Curriculum Models, Writing and e-publishing, Design Theory, Design Process, Interdisciplinary Research, Digital Media, Activism and Social Responsibility. Intent/Content will take place in Nashville, Tennessee at the Downtown Hilton, from May 31 to June 2.

The conference schedule is packed with three days of speakers, a special visit to Hatch Show Print (with a discount on merchandise), an Adobe workshop and a screening of Helvetica. We've got the social scene covered too with hosts from Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Memphis on hand to lead the way. There will be plenty of time to visit the Frist Center for Visual Arts or the Parthenon, attend the symphony at the new Schermerhorn Symphony hall, go to Cirque Du Soleil at the Nashville Arena, go on the First Saturday Gallery Crawl or get an authentic sense of Nashville at the honky-tonks in "Hillbilly Times Square"—all within walking distance of the hotel.
