Join SPD-U for Our 2015 Pub(lications) Crawl on Friday, 10/2/15 If you're interested in working for magazines one day whether as a designer, photographer or illustrator, take a break from your class routine with our annual SPD-U PUB(lications) CRAWL! This is a day-long event where you'll get to tour the offices of two fantastic magazines and/or design firms for an in-depth look at the way things really work.
 
Our gracious and most excellent tour hosts this year are 8x8 magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Popular Mechanics, design firm Segal Savad, Time, W mag and Woman's Day!!! They're all getting ready to give you exclusive behind-the-scenes access, so come armed with your curiosity and questions, and prepare yourself for a very unique tour of great magazine-making.

Wanna come? We're over 75% full, but there's still room for you! You just have to register by noon on Wednesday. Read on to find out how...

Doors open at 9:15 and registration takes place until 9:30. Please be aware we leave for the various tours promptly at 9:45--if you're late, you're going to be left behind and because of logistics, you cannot join us at a later time during the day. The day will end after the last tour, no later than 4:00pm. After that, you are free to leave.

WANNA COME?
   

FOR SECURITY REASONS, NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED WHO HASN'T SIGNED-UP IN ADVANCE--TICKETS MUST BE RESERVED OR PURCHASED BY MIDNIGHT, TUESDAY, 9/29.


BRING WITH YOU:

   
• A government-issued photo I.D. for access to office buildings

• Money for lunch or pack a lunch
• A MetroCard or money/credit card to purchase one since most tours require some subway travel

• A notebook for notes and a bag since you'll be getting handouts and magazines

Umbrella/raingear and comfortable shoes since we'll be walking to the different offices. Also, please dress appropriately. No need to dress too formally, but keep in mind you'll be meeting lots of potential future employers and in various professional settings.
Questions for your tour hosts! Don't miss out on this opportunity to really find out what working on magazines is like ... think about all the things you want to know, write 'em down and be ready to ask your hosts about them. 



Leave the résumés and portfolios at home ... we'll have a Portfolio Review event later in the year. Although, it's never a bad idea to have business cards with your contact info handy, in case you want to exchange information with your SPD-U Tour Guides or with your fellow tour members.

THE FINE PRINT

   
  
*When you register, you'll get a chance to indicate which of the tours are your top choices. Tours are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis ... so the earlier you RSVP, the better chance you have of getting your top choice. This also means that if you are part of a large group registering, you may not all get assigned the same tour. Tour assignments will be given to you the morning of the event.

 Rest assured that ALL of the tours are awesome, so even if you don't get your first choice, it'll still be a great experience.

Also be aware tours are subject to change.
  
Please note that registration closes at midnight EST on Tuesday night, 9/29/15 The registration deadline is now Wednesday, 9/30 at noon. Refunds are available until noon on Wednesday if you find you're not able to come. After that, however, refunds are no longer available as we reserved the space for you and need enough time to fill the spot.
