Check the calendar to see all of the upcoming Unplugged events!
AIGA San Diego Tijuana's Unplugged is an official chapter sanctioned group created to complement the chapter's usual programming with a monthly series of casual and low/no cost gatherings to build community at the grassroots level. Join us to unplug from your devices and enjoy professional development in its simplest form while we foster relationships and a sense of belonging in a casual group setting. AIGA Membership isn't required and all design mediums/experience levels are welcome!
This format makes it easy to show up and participate without knowing anyone. A great way to have more familiar faces at other AIGA events, plus the benefits of deepening relationships with people in your field.
We are committed to hosting activities that do not require a cost to attend. Our chapter is full of generous hosts and a region of great spaces. If you have ideas for events or a gathering space to share, please let us know!
You can expect the calendar to offer an enriching mixture of themes and activities. We are intentional about using play, nature, learning and more to explore our profession together in a casual environment.
We require registration for each person who wants to participate. We rely on these forms to plan the logistics (e.g., chairs) and for safety reasons, like making sure we don't leave anyone behind on a hike. For anything requiring special planning, registration may close in advance. Contact the organizers at unplugged@sandiego.aiga.org with any questions, changes, etc.
We would love to hear from you! Contact the organizers at unplugged@sandiego.aiga.org, or mention it in person at an event. The calendar is planned out but we're eager to democratize the planning process so you can trust your input will be received with enthusiasm.
No, you do not need to be a member but this group is geared towards the design profession with relevant discussions planned for each event. We welcome everyone from people working as designers, retired from the profession, not-yet-employed but seeking, or just sincerely interested in our ever-expanding design field: graphic design, web design, strategy, design thinking, UX/UI, branding, illustration, photography, video, animation, game design, etc. However, if you wish to become an AIGA member or renew, you can click here.
Use the email unplugged@sandiego.aiga.org and one of the organizers will guide you. We try to make ourselves as visible as possible but sometimes this happens! Don't worry, if you're on our registration list we'll also be looking out for you. Check your email-- we may have even sent you a message with further instructions.
