International Graphic Communication Week: Cutting Edge

On February 26, 2025, stop by building 26, room 204! 

The annual Graphic Communication (GrC) Week is a celebration of Cal Poly GrC students and industry. Launched in 1984 during the time of Benjamin Franklin’s birthday – the country’s first printer – GrC Week continues to be a highlight of the year for students.

GrC Week embodies the spirit of "cutting edge" by showcasing the latest advancements and innovations in the field of graphic communication. This event brings together industry leaders (many GrC alum!), educators, board members and students to explore emerging technologies, trends, and methodologies that are shaping the future of visual communication. Workshops, lectures, and an outstanding keynote highlight the integration of tools like UX, Embellishment, Sustainability, and Digital Media - empowering participants to push creative boundaries. By fostering collaboration and inspiring new ideas, the celebration not only honors past achievements but also fuels the ongoing evolution of graphic communication, making it a true reflection of cutting-edge creativity

The day ends with a huge celebratory banquet for our students, supported by our incredible GrC advisory board, industry partners and the famous Sabine Lenz of PaperSpecs as keynote speaker!
