What is 021 Disrupt
In 2017, I had the privilege of working on 021 Disrupt, the entrepreneurial conference that has now become a yearly tradition in Karachi. It brings together innovators and entrepreneurs from the regional ecosystem to explore the future of tech, society, and entrepreneurship, and I've witnessed its design evolve significantly over time.
Research about other conferences
Our journey began with inspiration from tech conferences globally. In the early stages, we closely studied three major competitors: Slush, Collision, and Rise. As this conference was organized by a small team of just 10 people, we, the in-house designers, were responsible for every aspect of its design. Our research went beyond website analysis, encompassing details such as merchandise, banners, and stage setups.
Branding
We devised a Tetris-inspired concept for the conference, symbolizing the assembly of foundational building blocks that align perfectly with the entrepreneurial journey.
