That Conference
A PREMIERE TECH CONFERENCE IN WISCONSIN
We helped That Conference develop a brand narrative centered on the idea that a tech conference could be just like a “summer camp for geeks.”
THE STORY
Our branding approach created opportunities for language that felt more like a campfire conversation. And for imagery and illustrations that subtly nodded to vintage children story books. Every new year is a family reunion. It’s a chance to share stories and embrace a child-like curiosity for all things technology.
That Conference is located in Wisconsin Dells, WI and it’s at a giant indoor water park. Over 1700 people attended last year and the brand is continuing to grow. Incredible speakers and workshops are lined up between pig roasts, board game nights, and water park parties. The spirit that we helped develop has created a culture of social exploration and playful learning.

A digital spark
Leveraging the community-focused mission, we helped create a digital experience that helps campers connect, and extend the That Conference brand across 365 days. The UI/UX was built for conversion and conversation, with clear call to actions and plenty of quirky illustrations.
