Every fourth Thursday until September, AIGA Detroit has programmed a series of four informal "salons" centered around the business of design. We kicked off the series in June with "Cultivating a Successful Design Firm/Freelance Career." In July the topic will be, "How to Self Promote."

We will chat informally about how you can spread the word about you and your business in order to connect with new people and gain new clients. Specifically, we will discuss strategies that knowledgeable PR/Communications and Social Media experts recommend for their clients.

Light refreshments and snacks will be served.
