The CONNECT Design Conference is this Friday. It is a speaker series organized by The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago which brings together speakers from a variety of design disciplines and takes place in Chicago at the Merchandise Mart. It runs from 10 AM to 4 PM.
I am speaking as a web designer, but the focus isn't on web design per se. The audience will run the gamut of both design professionals and students so the topic will be more about leveraging technology and the context of its use in design.
It's been a while since I've had to do anything in front of an audience and never in this capacity. It's a little scary but exciting. According to the organizers of the event, there should be around 300 people.
