<H2>Purpose X Design</H2>
<P>Work is work, right? We don't need to like it - just need to collect that paycheck.</P>
<P>Obviously not! Our careers are meant to be the manifestations of our dreams come true. We commit ourselves, work hard, & dream big - so why do we often struggle to find purpose in our work? Why does the grass always seem to be greener on the other side, even when we've made great efforts to get where we are?</P>
<P>In this Designers + Geeks, we're bring together a distinguished group of speakers to look at the topic of "purpose." We'll discuss ways to find meaning in your work, & lessons learned along the way. Our speakers have lived, learned, & worked hard to build great careers - they'll share how they did it.</P>
