Hosted by zu in their newly renovated office. This will be a less formal occasion than in previous years. No black ties, no sit down meal, no mellow jazz combo. Instead, snacks, cocktails, DJ beats, and a funky environment set the tone for the evening. Aside from handing out the awards, this event will also feature a series of fast-paced slide presentations from local design professionals, and a presentation from ImaginIT, a leading provider of design and engineering enterprise solutions.
Public welcome.
