About
PixelSessions is a San Francisco based event focused on bringing together designers of all types. We feature great speakers, cool contests and a chance to connect with like-minded individuals (did we mention the open bars and DJs?).
Our event is a platform that encourages intelligent conversations, provides valuable networking opportunities and celebrates all things design. pixelSessions are open to all creative professionals including graphic designers, web designers, photographers, 3D artists, VJs, students, and on and on. If you work visually in anyway, you are welcome to join us and we are excited to have you!
