For its 80th conference year, SECAC hosted a vibrant gathering in Atlanta, GA, from October 23–26, 2024, at the Atlanta Marriott Buckhead Hotel & Conference Center.
Under the guiding theme of Wayfinding, SECAC 2024 has been designed by artists, designers, scholars, and educators from across the Atlanta region. Wayfinding, a term originally coined in the realms of environmental design and navigation, has evolved into a generative concept that extends far beyond physical spaces. Our conference seeks to unravel the intricacies of wayfinding across intersections of technology, cognition, culture, and design.
