MDRT Annual Meeting

opener Virtual Event

When the global pandemic struck, The Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) had to make a decision quickly. Do they outright cancel their upcoming 2020 Annual Meeting scheduled for Anaheim, California, or frantically adapt their content to a virtual meeting? How would they be able to translate the same value from an in-person meeting to a virtual one? So many membership organizations, trade shows, or conferences have been forced to answer these same questions. Through the course of their internal discussions, MDRT decided to combine two of their conferences into one. The 2020 MDRT Annual Meeting in Anaheim and the 2020 MDRT Global Conference in Dubai became MDRT's first-ever Virtual Event.

With branding and marketing materials for each conference already well established, we worked with the MDRT's marketing team to develop a new brand that bridged the two meetings. Our goal was to create a look that was unique unto itself but still harnesses some of the visual equity from the individual marketing campaigns. We started by looking for similarities between the individual meetings brands. Through a color study for the two different conferences, we developed a new palette that used colors from both, but stood on its own as something different.

To further blend these two meetings, we built a series of gradients with the new color palette that symbolically combined these meetings, while standing out on its own. Reintroducing some of the textures and graphics from the original meeting's designs helped to communicate that this new meeting is truly an amalgamation of the other two into something new and exciting.

We could not ask for a better design team! Not only do they deliver thoughtful and unique location-based designs for each of our meetings, but this year they helped us transition from an in-person to a virtual event in a matter of days. GD Squared took two utterly different meeting designs and combined them to create one cohesive look for our event. I can always count on this team to bring our ideas to the next level!Taylor Conrad, Marketing Coordinator, Million Dollar Round Table
