Exhibition & Experience Design Capstone Event

FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology), New York

Each year the FIT Graduate Exhibition & Experience Design department holds a thesis adjudication event. Industry professionals travel to the FIT Campus in New York City from all over the world to have one-on-one interactions with the graduate students during their day-long thesis defense. The thesis work will demonstrate the students' exploration of an original thesis argument, in the form of a designed exhibition project. Each student will present drawings and documentation of their exhibition experience, including graphic and lighting design, renderings, physical models, along with a research and development document. Emphasis is placed on whether the student has created a strong and compelling storyline, and retained that narrative throughout each step of the design process, with a solid understanding of the client, venue, audience and most importantly the visitor experience.

An evening networking reception follows the thesis presentations with an awards ceremony and keynote address by Chris Wangro. The evening event is open to the public, alumni, college representatives, industry professionals and friends and families.
