For the show we need to invite 25 industry representatives (i.e magazine/graphic design companies) as a group and also individually invite 10+ representatives you'd want to work for using our pdf guide (coming soon).
We have also divided different tasks for the year show and would like everyone to be involved. Below is the list, by all mean join in the ones you like best but also try to spread yourselves out evenly so all the tasks get done.
