Jeni Herberger honored as conference speaker for 6th consecutive year.

(May 1, 2007 * Kirkland, WA ) - For the sixth consecutive year, Jeni Herberger, principal of DesignMatters and Big Fish will be a featured speaker at conferences sponsored by HOW Magazine. From June 10 – 13, she will present two sessions in Atlanta, GA for the HOW Design Conference and Austin, TX will be her forum from September 9 – 11 during the In-HOWse Designer Conference.

In June, Ms. Herberger will travel to Atlanta to share her business and design savvy at the 17th annual HOW Design Conference, “The Creativity, Business and Technology Conference for Graphic Designers” sponsored by HOW Magazine. For years, Ms. Herberger’s sessions have drawn sold-out crowds and her popularity has grown exponentially. This year’s topics, “Positioning Your In-House Team for Greater Recognition and Better Projects” and the career development track “Charting Your Course” are sure to draw record numbers. Ms Herberger’s ability to blend professional career advice with personal development and life opportunities in a lively, upbeat format has continually been received with high acclaim.

Conference attendees in Austin, TX will also benefit from Ms. Herberger’s wide knowledge base and charismatic presentations at the InHOWse Designer Conference in September. The conference, “Where Design and Management Meet”, is a one-of-a kind forum for the staffer who wears both a designer’s hat and a manager’s hat and the sessions’ aim is to face the unique set of professional challenges that present themselves for in-house creative managers.

Capitalizing on Jeni Herberger’s unique design and business sense, Kirkland-based DesignMatters has helped managers in both design firms and in-house design teams bring their business goals to life by collaborating with them to create action plans that are grounded in strategy and focused on getting results. Ms. Herberger is widely sought locally in the Pacific Northwest and nationally as a business and motivational speaker.

HOW Magazine is a leading publication dedicated to being the creative and business resource for graphic designers providing hands-on, educational forums for a wide spectrum of design professionals since 1991. The annual conferences are sold-out year after year and attendance numbers reach into the thousands.
