The facility may steal the show. You will be amazed at the Faith Church Media Facility in Dyer, Indiana. 100,000+ square feet of modern amenities such as: theatres, soundstages, gallery-style corridors, state-of-the-art studios and youth center. Faith Church’s willingness to incorporate the Insight Design Conference into their line of annual events comes with great delight.
INsight will satisfy those creative appetites. We know the after-work energy can be sluggish, so we’ll provide coffee that will kick-start those creative juices. INsight will also be providing snacks and treats to feed that brilliant mind. (Creative minds meld better over tater tots shaped as the letter Q anyway.)

TagTeam Get ready for the event everyone will be talking about. Tag Team is the wrestling of ideas, and Insight attendees are the ones behind the mask. Attendees will face-off and design live on stage (in a ring) to create a fearless and intimidating wrestling mask like those worn in Mexican wrestling. (For an example, please follow link: http://corazonfairtrade.com/maskluchalibre1.html)
There will be two teams, red and blue. You will get your color once you register. Once the competition starts the room will be divided into the two colors. One “design wrestler” from each team will take the stage--and we will ring the bell.
The first design wrestler will have 1-3 minutes to get the design going. After 1 minute the wrestler can “tag out” or continue on for an additional two minutes. After their time is up, they must tag another blue or red design wrestler from the crowd to take over the design. This will then repeat.
After 20 minutes, the crowd will vote on which design they like best. The attendees with that color will be crowned “Insight Champs” and win a prize. The designs will be seen as they are created--live on two large overhead screens for the crowd to watch.
T-Shirt Design Competition The INsight Design Conference and RedBubble.com have teamed up to create an epic T-shirt design competition, and we want you to be involved! Design a T-shirt that our attendees would want to wear and you could be “King of the Conference.” Submission deadline: May 5, 2010.
Here is how it works: Download the template. Follow the color mode and dimensions. (Submissions that are not created to these specs will not be accepted.)
Fire up your favorite design program, (Photoshop™ or Illustrator™). Then let the creative juices start flowing!
A few things to remember:
The winner will receive a print of the T-shirt and an Insight prize pack! (Details to come.) The 3 runners-up will be recognized and showcased at the INsight event.
Click hereto vote for your favorite design! The design with the most votes wins.
Redbubble will print a limited run and distribute the winning T-shirts at the INsight conference. After the competition the winning design and all runners-up will be available for purchase. The proceeds will go toward the Faith Church Community Arts Center.
The INsight Paper, Rock, Scissors Tournament Last year’s Paper, Rock, Scissors Tournament was the talk of the event. Hearts pounded and the crowd roared as our competitors faced off in an old-fashioned duel. Register to knock out last year’s Champion and be named the PRS champ! Sign up fast as this competition will fill up quickly.
