DesignUp 💝 Issue #134 > WrapUp of DUp22, Threads, Learning and 3 New Programs at DUpSchool

And so we wrapped up DesignUp Conference 2022 on a sunny Sunday afternoon a little over 2 weekends ago 💝 and have been wowed by all the attention on social media, sharing the learning, the excitement, and the energy. One attendee even said it was “like freshly baked warm soft bread with a crisp crust dipped in old wild forest honey…” 😁

We're often asked - why create something that lasts 48-96 hours? Jay (one of us) spoke about it on stage at DesignUp22: A conference never dies - it lives on in the hearts and minds of its attendees… and those who watch and cheer us from the sidelines.

The last few days, we've been reliving it via your unique perspectives... please keep sharing your stories and tag us. Wether you attended - or didn't, we'd love to hear your feed-back and feed-forward. It would help us get better and more relevant for you > https://bit.ly/DUp22FeedBack

So 💥🥁🚀 kudos to you all for coming, sharing, sponsoring and bringing your energy and curiosity! You make DesignUp special...

🥁 Bonus news - we have 3 new courses from DesignUp.School
