About ICON11

ICON is an inclusive gathering of illustrators, designers, educators, representatives, and art buyers exploring illustration today. Since 1999, we have produced conferences in Santa Fe, Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Providence, Portland, Austin, and Detroit.

ICON is committed to providing a diverse forum for an ongoing dialogue that serves the illustration, design, publishing, advertising, and academic communities. To learn more, check out the photos and archived websites from some of our past conferences: ICON10, ICON9, ICON8
