Design, Technology, and Management

Come join the celebration of your work, engage with your peers and professionals, and receive valuable feedback. The primary way for designers, technicians, artisans, and managers to be involved in the regional Festival Conference is through the Design, Technology & Management (DTM) Expo.

The Design, Technology, and Management (DTM) Expo is a distinguished celebration of student achievement, showcasing creative and technical work through both online and in-person exhibitions at the Regional Festival Conference. The Expo provides participants with the valuable opportunity to present their work to industry professionals and faculty members, who offer constructive feedback and professional responses to support artistic and professional growth. Special recognition is given for outstanding work. The current National and Regional Award recipients are listed HERE.

When preparing in-person and online gallery  exhibits for the DTM Expo, be sure to review the requirements on the How to Prepare page. 

Any questions may already be answered on the DTM FAQ page.

If you are a Faculty/Staff member who would like to display your work in the DTM Expo, please see the opportunities for Faculty /Staff at the bottom of the page.
