Icon brings together top illustrators, designers, educators, representatives, and art buyers to explore the future of illustration. Since 1999, we have produced conferences in Santa Fe, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Providence, Portland, and Austin.

Icon is committed to providing a diverse forum for an ongoing dialogue that serves the illustration, design, publishing, advertising, and academic communities.

Detroit, Michigan will be the host city for ICON10 The Illustration Conference.

ICON is taking its first slow roll into the Midwest. Mark your calendars now — you won’t want to miss the distinctive details in this city of makers and music, not to mention the epic Coney rivalry.
