The Event for Design & Brand Strategists

Save the Date for FUSE 2020...but in the meantime, check out Green by Design with a Special Presidential Keynote

We're looking forward to welcoming our attendees, sponsors and speakers at FUSE 2020 in Chicago in November. FUSE is a controlled, curated private business meeting of 150+ senior business professionals who work in the fields of Design, Brand Strategy, and Marketing.

Our number one priority is the safety of our delegates and colleagues, and there are always measures in place at our venues to safeguard your health and safety. There are extra measures in place for 2020 in light of developments with COVID-19.

WHAT can you expect at FUSE 2019?

An ongoing two-way dialogue. Your POV matters. Share it with over 300 senior brand, design, and business leaders.
A platform that both showcases and celebrates the diversity of the brand and design community.
An event with purpose; deeply rooted in hearing from and giving back to the Chicago community; from Chicago Public HS Students, to local Chicago design chapters.
Content, Context, & Connections beyond the live event. It's the 100th Anniversary of the Bauhaus and we will use that as a subtext and invite you to reflect on the meaning of the Bauhaus with us.
